Was sure the 'bus tracker app is 5 mins fast' thing was a myth, but my 7:15 bus left at 7:10 sharp this morning. Don't get left behind.

Actually, the bus tracker apps are usually right on time. They pull data from the bus itself. The real issue is the printed schedule at the stop. That thing is just a rough guess. My 5:40 bus is listed as 5:35 on the pole, but the app shows the real time. Always trust the app over the old paper schedule, right?

My app showed the 5:40 bus sitting at the stop for six minutes before it just vanished from the map completely. Turns out the driver was taking a break and the app still thought it was running.

The 22 downtown bus did that to me last week! I watched it pull away a full four minutes early. Now I just camp at the stop way earlier than I need to.
