East Yorkshire Buses 4+

Brilliant

The app is very helpful showing bus times and also live real times for buses arriving at the bus stop. Drivers are very pleasant and polite. Thank you
I just wish I could use my senior bus pass before 0930 so can get to medical appointments and not be limited to later than 1030 appointments. Hull residents have that advantage over us.
The app saves a lot of standing around at bus stops as you can see where the bus is and how many minutes before it gets to a required stop. Many thanks.

Honest review

So this review is in two parts. First the app. 4/5 - there are some tweaks that would benefit such as up to date info about when a bus is not coming, but overall, once you are used to how it works it’s pretty good.
However… a bus app without a reliable service is like buying a pair of shoes but one is far too small to fit. Of little use. I can’t count the amount of times a service just doesn’t show up. Sure, there’s a live map when you turn on the route, but often the trackers in the buses don’t work so you simply don’t know if it’s accurate or not. I rely on the service for my livelihood - but after trying this for 10 months my conclusion is the service has got worse over time and now Im going back to driving a car again. Completely the reverse of what public transport is supposed to be doing. As I stand here now, with TWO buses having not turned up, I’ll have to get an Uber once again. EYMS sort it out before whatever legislation monitors service gets called in if it hasn’t already

Pocklington to York and Back

First impressions good as it was easy to track the bus arriving to Pocklington and the stop to use was obvious. But, in York a completely different experience. The App has Stonebow and Piccadilly mixed up, the App named stop of Stownbow is actually in Piccadilly. The physical stops on Piccadilly and there are 4 of them make no reference to the X46/X47 so I had no clue which to use and the stop dot on the app shows on the wrong side of the street! I eventually found refeeence to the X46/X47 on the ‘bus stop SC’ sign on Stonebow so waited there. Good job I had some time to spare!

Why can’t the app have the bus stop names ie ‘Bus Stop SC’ included in the timetable or map labels is would make things a lot easier.

Here’s hoping this can be sorted?
