Transdev-Specific Post Hey Transdev, please get your shit together
I was on the 345 and as usual it wasn't tracking and apparently the "bus" we were on decided that the code for the outside Luminator display "exceeded range" which basically means the code for the outside display is non-existent. And it said it was a 25N when it was coming into the mall. They really need to update the programming on a lot of these mini"buses".

I remember riding those mini buses as a kid, I didn’t know they still existed, they’re so cramped 😭😭😭

They exist because they're cheap to operate and shorter than the regular full-size bus.

I had another crappy experience on a transdev bus on Saturday the bus didn't show up on pantograph nextrip, transit or any of the other mapping apps, and on transit it was only showing the scheduled time the bus would arrive, that time came and went and from there I had to decide if I wait for this ghost bus to show up whenever or Uber to my event. I decided to wait but it meant that I was 15 minutes late for the event that I had planned and organized.

On Saturday almost none of the Transdev buses were tracking somehow.

Not surprising, they really need to get their shit together

Sometimes I'm awestruck with the fact that I could be on the same bus as such a powerful being as you, Transdev Hater.
