The most they can realistically do is reboot the ticket machine, which takes ages and would make them late. Better to just carry on without delaying the service - and of course they don't know if it's just a temporary issue of it not tracking.

Yes, some of the time it does. Sometimes everything is lit up green and it still doesn't track on Bustimes. Either way, the driver likely doesn't have a reason to prioritise it as something to report - it literally doesn't impact them at all.
Quite often it's intermittent too, and quite frankly the driver has more important things to do when driving than constantly wake up the ticket machine to check if their bus is tracking on Bustimes!
