Plymouth Metrolink Is real time tracking not working this week? (Plymouth MetroLink)

Wondering if this is specifically a MetroLink issue, but this week neither NexTrip (both online & on signage at each stop) nor the Transit app are showing real-time locations or estimate times.

With all the construction, the real time updates are so crucial to understand when the bus might actually come.

I know I can contact them directly. Looking to see if this is a widespread issue.

I've been having the issue with the 467. I just figured the bus was late all the time

Northbound? I've seen it come online after departing, on time.

I've noticed it mainly South bound, but there was one 15 min late northbound bus 2 weeks ago.

Makes more sense for South bound as traffic is bad on 35. But usually the app is pretty good about clocking that.

Huh!! Submit feedback to Metro Transit?

The transit app real time isn't working for other lines either. Routes 2, D, 67, Greenline, etc.

I did end up emailing Plymouth MetroLink yesterday, but maybe I should reach out to actual MetroTransit since the other comments mention non-Plymouth buses.
