Who really cares

Those who rely on it to see if and when their bus is coming, especially those where buses are often missing.

How come bus times doesn't show Dead journeys no more.

How come bus times doesn't show Dead journeys no more.

Please use this topic for general BusTimes discussion instead of the NX reporting topic.

I guess the short answer is that for the purposes of informing bus passengers, dead journeys are not important.

Either that or the onboard systems have been configured to no longer report vehicle location data when not in service.

I think it is just the source of the information.

Traffilog where it used to come from tracks buses where ever they are. Vix is there purely to track vehicles in service

Random question but does anyone remember on bustimes when you could sort all the buses by fleet number/journey/destination that have been on a certain route?

You would do it by tapping on the "Vehicle"/"Trip"/"Destination" tab at the top but now when you tap it, nothing happens.

I jot down in my notes on my phone all the buses that have been used on my local CV 17 route for the day so can be quite annoying to go through the whole list of vehicles trying to pick out the substitutes if there is any.

I know how to do that, it's just a while ago you would be able to sort by fleet number via the bold headings at the top of that page and any other route-vehicle page but you can't anymore.

If you want to have a look at someone trying to edit Bustimes, off fake information from Bustimes itself see the pending edit for 4508!
