Ghost buses flying by – OneBusAway Review

I have used this app for a year in my work commute, and on a weekly basis I am fooled by it. While it is better than a printed timetable, it promises much more than it can deliver. “Real time bus transit information” is not a reality using this app, the most common problem is thinking I have missed a bus when I haven’t. The map purports to show the real-time GPS location of the bus; I have dozens of screenshots of my location at a stop and my bus passing by, while the physical ‘real’ bus rattles by a few minutes later. I’ve switched to google maps, its more reliable.
