What is Reddit's opinion of MyTransLink?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There are a few issues here that people continue to bring up that often get looked past.

The first thing being consistency. I live near Old Cleveland Road at Camp Hill, and my nearest stop sees about 10 different buses drive past. My particular stop only has 2 buses that stop there. People need to understand that the other buses go on different routes and may not end you at your destination... if the bus is full or you've been ignored by the bus driver, that must be very unlucky as this has never happened to me.

The next argument I see is services not turning up, or late or whatever. I get this would be frustrating, I constantly see people looking at the timetable at my bus stop wondering why the bus hasn't turned up when it specifically says 7:58 and it's now 8:03 and them getting shitty... well... I'm sorry, it is now 2017 and Translink have a great (although poorly designed) app available for both Android and Apple which is very accurate, with each bus being equipped with GPS tracking updating live to their servers. The number of people who hang buses out to dry for being 5 minutes late, in peak hour traffic, is ridiculous. The technology is there, it's free, use it.

Lastly, people who compare Brisbane's bus network with the likes of fucking Hong Kong and Tokyo need to understand population density:

• Brisbane - 145 people per square km
• Tokyo - 6,200 people per square km
• Hong Kong - 6,500 people per square km
• New York City - 10,800 people per square km
• Seoul - 16,500 people per square km

We are not comparing apples with apples in this situation. Personally I feel the trans-link network get absolutely butchered on this subreddit and although people are entitled of their opinion, I just hope they understand the above before shitting on them next time.

Here are some direct links:

• Google Play, if you use Android

• Apple App Store, if you use iOS

• Web, if you would prefer that.

On web:

> search and enter your location (stop/station/terminal name, stop ID or address). The information for services departing that stop will be in real-time once real-time has been rolled out in your region.

In the apps:

> Go to the ‘Find stops’ search and enter your location (stop/station/terminal name, stop ID or address). You can then save this stop for future use.

All that is from this page.
