Good - missed the bus as one pint to many but got home sooner as It suggest catching a bus to Birtley then a bus back to home which got me in the house before I would have got on the bus in town

Bad - when i click on the bus it tells you whether the bus is busy, quiet etc. Ive only every seen the buses ive clicked on as quiet  but the bus i got to town on Saturday was supposed to be quiet but in fact it was choca.... must have only been single figure seats available.  I'm just wondering if this is classed as Quiet or whether the appt when it comes to this is rubbish?

I don't know where the data comes from for the app, where it shows how busy/quiet a bus is, but it doesn't seem to reflect the data that is available on BODS.

I noticed this a few month ago with 21s, when buses had started getting busy again. App showing as quiet, yet the data on bustimes and via my own eyesight showed that there were very few seats available.

I was on an 84 yesterday that was full to standing, because the one before had been curtailed at the Galleries and the one prior to that hadn't ran at all. Checked the app whilst onboard, and it still stated it was quiet.
