The #TfE (#LothianBuses and #EdinburghTrams) #TransportTracker app seems to be having an off moment just now (probably in absolutely no way affected by the #EdinburghFestivals crowds starting to arrive 🤔), so just a reminder that the old #Edinburgh #BusTracker website still exists (and still seems to be working, assuming that it does have accurate data from the “new” system?).

Bus tracker - Edinburgh - Real-time bus information

@drnoble Hehe! In the app, well, about 90% of the time, but I did wonder whether at least one of these buses (and a third one shown scurrying off-route presumably to fill in elsewhere) was a ghost bus or garbage data!

The #BusTracker display signs at bus stops, on the other hand… 🙄

For the first time in my life, I have encountered the “You wait ages for a bus and then two come at once” scenario…

(Actually, very little waiting, the #TfE #Edinburgh #LothianBuses #BusTracker app means you can leave to get to the stop just before the right time. ☺️

But two buses on the same (less frequent) service route right behind each other? Something didn’t quite work out right somewhere!)
