First Bus - Latest Quality Issues

The live tracking doesn't work, app is showing that the bus is arriving 10 min and it's been an hour and a half that the bus isn't here. Horrible app, please don't use it for bus info.

It won't work then sometimes it will. I have to say to the driver and explain it's just not working. It's really annoying.

Not good. Bring back the old app. My favourite stops were there as soon as I opened the app and I could name them as I wanted. Think you are supposed to be able to do this now, but you can't. Absolute rubbish. Quicker to walk than look for a bus 😡

Good app, very handy for seeing the buses in real-time. Just a shame the buses are ripoff and they're never on time

Error notice continues to to be displayed when trying to plan a journey Unable to find out what time the bus will arrive at the bus stop Very poor

This is a very poor app. It gives the same data for multiple stops even though they are for different buses. Bus arrival times are invariably wrong and the tracking map is always behind where the actual location of the bus is. If you trust this app, you will miss your bus every time.

worst app, worst services
the app is horrendous, downloaded it because I need to but it lags constantly (on all networks), is slow and usually very inaccurate

Very unreliable
The bud times are not accurate enough. Live tracker isn't live, more like 5 minutes behind

As well as offering similar functionality to other mTicket apps, your payments are secure and there’s even a handy ‘buy again’ button with one-tap checkout, so it’s quick and easy to buy your ticket before you board. You can make a payment by card, apple Pay or PayPal.

CHECK LIVE BUS TIMES
The First Bus App is the best way to get live bus times and route information. You can save your favourite stops, stations and locations and revisit recently searched journeys.
