Was working fine but now I can not get number 10 bus to show when I try to plan journey for my husbands work, which stops right outside our home. When ever try to get for home to his work, number 10 service does come up as an option on the planner but when I look at the number 10 route it shows that it goes nowhere near his work although this is the bus that he has always used it also does not even show the number 10 as stopping right outside his work when I click on the stop on the map, but it does show other buses ....... This is VERY annoying because as I said it was working beforehand.

Works well

Update: continually giving 'server is offline' errors now and today crashes every time I try to use it. Frustrating as normally a great app. Usually fantastically useful but recently giving cannot connect to server errors and today tried to tell me that to make a (normally) 15min trip was going to take over an hour and a half. Doesn't seem to be able to pick up Lothian Buses info at the moment which is unfortunate since that's all we use it for...

Mikael Blomkvist

Beats Google maps because it favours direct routes instead of connecting services. It doesn't make sense to take multiple hops because 1 they aren't reliable enough, and 2 we have to pay for each leg of the journey (until Scotland gets a proper integrated public transport system)

Peter Kakol

Use it a lot find it very useful. Wondering when alexa will get it!

Nicky Richardson

Twice in the past week been directed to busses that don't exist. App used to be great....

Hi Tina, if you've still experiencing this issue, could you drop us a short email at apps@travelinescotland.com? We'd like to look into this, and need some further details about your location and local transport operators. Many thanks.

Hi Esther, sorry we had a system fault earlier this month, which caused a small number of services to be missing from the app for two days. Normal service was restored as soon as the issue was discovered. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your feedback.

It's OK when it works. WHEN.

Alistair Cameron April 22, 2017

Very useful

Jim S April 12, 2016

Fantastic app I don't use this app often but when i do its invaluable. Really! Waiting at a cold wet bus stop for a bus thats late. Or worse, already been. Its impossible to read some bus stop timetables at night & some arent even posted or vandalised.

Traveline Scotland Ltd April 15, 2016

Thanks for your feedback!

James Gillan November 18, 2016

I USE THIS EVERY DAY This is a must have app that I use every day. The only slight niggle is every time you open the app, the default search reverts back to all modes of travel. But the favourite journey features helps a lot. Reliable and useful.

Bill King April 30, 2016

VERY USEFUL APP I have been using this app for quite some time now and have found it invaluable on so many occasions I can't praise it highly enough. Sometimes it can be difficult to input the precise destination you need but this rarely happens and the benefits far outweigh this minor frustration hence the reason for 5 stars. Thank you to the developers!

Traveline Scotland Ltd August 4, 2016

Thank you for your kind comments. I'll pass them on to the developers.

Gordon Glennie May 21, 2016

Please fix next departures Please please revert to proper times for next departures. Real time is a terrible idea when you think about it. It is a real pain to be told next bus is in say 38 minutes - you then have to check the current time then work out when bus leaves! Otherwise a good app.

Traveline Scotland Ltd August 4, 2016

HI Gordon, sorry for the delay in replying. The live times are shown in a countdown format so users know they are live, and not scheduled times which can be shown for some bus operators.

February 13, 2017

This app is generally good. I will say that. But there has been the odd occasion when the app has totally let me down with wrong times or me being too high and pressing the wrong things. But i doubt i do that as often as iv been 20 minutes early or late for a bus which i am currently experiencing right now and i strongly believe this is due to a glitch in this app and not my mental state. But apart from that. When the app works its great. But i could ve doing without this. Thanks

kyle nilsson December 12, 2016

Piece of crap This app hasn't worked for months now anytime I click to view times the app crashes! About as useful as the bus service!

Alan McCloskey July 13, 2016

Its alright but not quite right Its a great app to find out the next bus or train is due but its not up to date bus service's numbers aren't correct and timetables are incorrect please fix the errors

Traveline Scotland Ltd August 4, 2016

Hi Alan, our data is updated regularly with changes to public transport timetables. If you believe there are any errors, please could you let us know at apps@travelinescotland.com so we can investigate.

Rob Watt July 9, 2016

This app can be very useful. However, it is a battery hog. Use it for 5 minutes, exit it, and it continues to eat power. By the next day, even though you have not used it again, it has used more battery than anything else on the phone.

Lorraine McKnight October 31, 2016

Unreliable for x76 times Missed various buses because it gives me the wrong time. Please update your x76 timetable 😞😞

douglas Macaulay December 8, 2016

No timetables If you try to look at the times for any stop, this app will just give you a blank page instead.

Allan Webb August 28, 2016

The opt-out for sending analytical info to a 3rd party doesn't work- it leads to a web page that doesn't exist. So there is no way to stop this app from sending information from your device to an unnamed third party. A truly appalling invasion of privacy- I uninstalled immediately.

John Macleod August 6, 2016

Traveline Scotland Knowing as I do now that I can find bus stops by typing address or postcode this makes the app easier to use and enjoy too

Rodney Innes August 30, 2016

Rods review This app looks pretty if only it would work, it makes a 40 mile journey take 13 hours .

Jymm Verity February 25, 2017

The data collection opt-out is broken. Only use this application if you don't enjoy privacy

Derek Johnstone October 11, 2016

Next departures bug fixed? Eh, no! I click on next departures and it just closes on me. So frustrating.

Lynsey miller August 31, 2016

Tayler 👩 I am 8. This is perfect I love love love love love love love love love love love It. It tells you all the stuff about a bus and what time it's coming and where the buses are and when they coming. It's even got a map. 😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😙😙😙😁

martin webster September 1, 2016

Invaluable. The best information ever. I travel to Scotland quite frequently. This is so helpful and easy to use.

Damian Karczewski November 5, 2016

Crashed when push Next Departures Crashed when push Next Departures

Olayinka Popoola August 21, 2016

Excellent I can't do without this app. It has made my life easy.

Shirley Kane July 30, 2016

A+ Really handy to have as Dundee buses are always either early or late

Times recently spot on

Andrew Devlin September 15, 2016

Great App to find buses around Scotland

Keith Bennett October 26, 2016

Used it for walking the Antonine wall. Invaluable.

Túlio Calsaverini August 8, 2016

Very useful and easy

Alex Stewart March 30, 2016

Rubbish What actually happened to this app.. used to be great.. now times are all over the place. I think it needs an update. Bus may say due in 5mins, go to the bus stop, refresh the page and it either disappears or says due in 18mins 😂

Traveline Scotland Ltd April 7, 2016

Alex, we identified a server issue which resulted in the first next bus due sometimes being removed from the list of departures too quickly, and before the bus had arrived. This has now been fixed. Thanks for reporting the fault, and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Mike BadJester August 25, 2015

The Journey planner is out planned by google maps. This app some how never gets my journey from my work to home right. I use the 19 and 3 and 83. The app never makes connections but google maps can how can this be. If this app worked I would love it but as it stands other applications do a better job.

Traveline Scotland Ltd October 5, 2015

Hi Mike, would be keen to know more about your journey you think should show in the app (bus company, time of travel, start and end points). If you've got time, could you let us know at apps@travelinescotland.com so we can look into this further? Thanks.

Jamie Fleming March 25, 2016

No bus times at all Since new year and the schedule change I have not been bus times for most stops. Missed busses on several occasions from it

Traveline Scotland Ltd April 7, 2016

Jamie, there was a recent fault which meant the very next bus was not always being shown on departure screens. If you believe there is a route missing, please let us know the company and route number and we will investigate: apps@travelinescotland.com. Thanks.

Euan McDonald September 11, 2015

Inaccurate bus times Completely useless in Aberdeen as the bus times (not including real time) are completely inaccurate in comparison to official timetables. The app is also outshined in design by built in apps and even the version for all of Great Britain. Highly unrecommended.

Traveline Scotland Ltd October 5, 2015

Sorry you feel this way Euan. Our data for Aberdeen is supplied by a local data supplier and is up to date, this is the same data source for all GB bus apps. Could you let us know any specific bus services that may have a timetable issue? apps@travelinescotland.com.

James Hall August 28, 2015

Hard to use Needs to be a great app but is not! The Traffic Scotland part lets it down. Layout and navigation is difficult..eg incident list is hard to scan through. Would also benefit from adding length of delays and queues. Hard to choose a location quickly. Most of all the map is impossible to use- I can't pan left at all... It just brings up the side bar. Is also v slow and jumps around. Could be good but needs much refining. Please work on it!

Traveline Scotland Ltd October 5, 2015

Thanks for your feedback. We'll review your suggestions with our developers.

ian kierans August 1, 2015

Great app Download this app a couple of days ago, just had the chance to use it today, I can't believe how accurate the travel routes are, easy to use lots of useful information, dont no how I survived without this, I would highly recommend you try this out for yourselves 5 stars 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

Traveline Scotland Ltd August 14, 2015

Thanks for your feedback!

Richard Easson June 24, 2015

So crap for train plans The app doesn't show journeys that use the kircaldy circle and another line. It also didn't show trains between edinburgh and livingston. Absolutely unusable service. And no update after complaining about it a year ago. Why are you doing this? Can't you provide the service you claim?

Traveline Scotland Ltd July 13, 2015

Hi Richard, the journey planner provides fastest journeys between A and B. If you're using the departure boards, please let us know more info about the specific trains so we can investigate with our provider of rail data.

Elaine Kilday January 3, 2016

Dislike it. Take ages to find out name of street and what buses number from my house to different places.
