East Yorkshire Buses 4+

Fed up again!!

Total frustration of the number of buses that simply don’t turn up. Stopped using EYMS and went back to the car. Had a go again this morning and lo & behold the app tells me the bus is due in 2mins. Great. 2 mins later it’s disappeared. And now there’s one due in 11 mins!!! Yes... it was highlighted in green, not black so was supposedly “live” . This happens very very often before I gave up and went back to the car 3 months ago. I will keep trying the buses intermittently. But until the service improves and the hit and miss “live” (is it really going to show) display on the App improves, you can count me out🙁 Oh and by the way.... this is the 66 route.

Brilliant app

Being able to check if the bus is running late and avoid waiting for ages at the local stop is great.

Having an OAP free bus pass means I can pop on a bus to the next village, pick up a few shopping items and catch a return bus only a few mins later. I can see if both busses are running on time to judge if it’s viable to make the trip or catch a later one.

The timetable part is OK, but the live bus times part is brilliant.

Thanks, Woody, glad you're finding the live tracking useful! Thanks for taking the time to write us a review :-)

Good app when it works!!!

I use this app a lot for travelling to work and back. I buy a £13 Hull plus weekly ticket almost every week. A few times now, the app has failed in allowing me to access my mobile ticket meaning I have to pay again! Everything else on the app works but when I press on mobile ticket, the full app shuts down! I have contacted the customer services for the bus company but they need to see the app do this before they will do anything. Only problem there is that I cannot predict when the app will fail so I can’t show them. Has anyone else had this happen to them? The company said they hadn’t heard of it but the drivers have said it happens quite often 😡

Hi Tom. I haven't seen this issue happen before. The only thing that I can think might be causing an issue is whether you have enough memory available on your phone? The app needs a certain amount of available memory to work. Alternatively, is data turned on on your phone? You need data turned on and available in order to buy and activate a ticket.
