Again, something which can be taken up by bus operators and adapted to suit their passengers needs.

I must admit that my personal phone doesn't let me use the apps either. My stubbornness and total lack of interest in compromising my phone choice to suit, is one reason why I dont use the apps.

Another, is their reputation for reliability and accuracy.
I gave up with the GNE app on my work phone after one too many glitches, areas of the app being removed 'temporarily', errors and re-boots and obviously there are comments about the accuracy of the ANE live tracking on the forum.

Being honest, I forgot you could follow the tracking via the website.

I suppose it adds weight to my comments about relying on various different sources, just to find out where the bus is.
Unless you fiddle around, click on a specific bus and use some intuition, the live tracking doesn't really tell you about any specific delays either.

All too often, it's just plain wrong, too. Like that time we waited over half an hour for a 6. The app showed 2 of them passing us, in that time and the woman at the bus stop who ignored my insistence that arriva customer services would be even more in the dark than us and phoned them up just got the message that buses were running as usual with small delays.
