Usually 3 buses per hour on the NX 40 just checked bus times and only one bus tracking , which indicates only one  bus in service which means hefty wait and more people complaining about unreliable service

Only if you're spotting in your bedroom.

Plus there may be buses operating that service which aren't tracking for whatever reason.

There's a fault at the Bus Open Data Service

Hello,

This is an update to let you know how progress is being made regarding availability of the Bus Open Data Service.

The availability of the site is being monitored carefully and whilst we can see the experience has significantly improved for many users, we know that some users are unable to consistently publish or download data.

The BODS team continue to work to improve the availability of the service and we'll keep you updated throughout and on an ongoing basis.

How long will it take to get fixed

I see once again, someone on here, and it is someone on here as they are putting links on, is so keen to change bustimes, they are not only putting buses into new livery while they are still out in service, but also changing them to the wrong one.

Whoever changed 2070, why can't you follow the rules bustimes clearly gives and not change liveries until they are done?

Walsall are using it on the 4 again today, even though it was supposed to go into paint.

BODS seems to be working a lot more reliably today

[Danthebusman]

multiple CV services (7, 8, 9, 17A, 18) not tracking, don't know if it's the same elsewhere

Everything has stopped tracking again

Everything has stopped tracking again

It went for about 10 minutes, cry me a river...

Has the driver of 6719 put the wrong details in the machine, as Bustimes is showing X51, but he's over Streetly area?

[18WilliamsLi]

Nothing tracking apart from stagecoach

I see Bustimes has had an update, there is now finally a dark mode and also a different layout when viewing vehicles.
