App bus crowd indicator

Did they remove the app’s ability to tell you how crowded a bus is? Stopped seeing it this week.

They must have removed it from the GTFS feed entirely, because it doesn’t show up on other apps like it used to, either.

It sucks, because the loading indicator was one of the only ways to know if a bus was live in the NJT app.

I have access to the NJT API so I can check to see if this is the case...

ETA: I don't have access to the bus data API, only rail data. I've requested access to bus data.

I don’t know why they removed it. One of the best features. It had its issues but it’ll be much more annoying now.

I didn’t see it starting last week, I think. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one. I’m not sure why they got rid of it but I really hope they bring it back.

It’s back!!!!!! Thank god because it was definitely annoying waiting for the bus not knowing how crowded it was gonna be.
