PSA: I found a better way to track the bus on my phone
For months, I would just open the transit app and stare at the map, guessing when my bus would come. Last Tuesday, I missed the 7:15 because the map was wrong. Now I use the text alert system the city set up. You text your stop number and it texts back the real times. It's been right every morning this week. Anyone else use something like that instead of the apps?

The apps are always a mess. My city's text system is the only thing that works. The map showed a bus that didn't exist, made me late for work. Switched to texts and it's been perfect. Never going back to those glitchy apps.

Yeah the "ghost bus" thing is real. Read an article last year about how the GPS data gets stuck and just shows buses that already left. Texts are way more reliable.
