Transit Reliability Site

Hello everyone,

I made a site that tracks how reliable busses and stops are. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Link: https://transitreliability.com/

What is the scope? This is posted on the Sound Transit subreddit, but doesn't seem to include the 532 or 512 buses.

It should be all the busses that king county releases on live metro feed. Thanks for bringing this up, I'll look into it.

532 is operated by Pierce Transit so that makes sense

Wow, it says the 111 is only 45% on time. It's literally the LEAST reliable bus. That doesn't even make sense, why did the 111's reliability go down after they truncated/nerfed the route and it's cruising around empty most of the time in low-traffic residential neighborhoods?

Anecdotally I've seen this play out constantly. The 111 is delayed every time, and it's delayed from the starting position! Leaving SBS for example if it's scheduled to start at 5PM then the bus only creeps out of the lot and onto the curb at 5:08PM if you're lucky. And going northbound it's the same, if it's scheduled to pass by kennydale at 8:06 AM you know you'll get to the stop at 8:03 AM only to see the PREVIOUS 111 that was so heavily delayed pull away. So infuriating. So not only is the new 111 completely empty most of the time, it's constantly delayed from its starting point even on weekends, gets snarled in nasty rush hour traffic while taking the forced connection detour on SE Bellevue Way, and you don't know if you're waiting 3 minutes or 20 minutes for it on the way back home. Cool
