Why is it that we often have to know the answer in order to ask the question?<br />Why do we need a list of apparently identical routes?<br />Why is information so hard to get, in whatever format?

I must try and find FBB's Supermarket Experience blog, where he complains that Tesco doesn't give details for Waitrose's products...<br /><br />Sorry to use the same analogy, but that is, when boiled down, what we are talking about here. If you want a national journey planner, use traveline. Or, do what most people who don't know of the existence of journey planners do: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Buses+Seaton+to+Axminster<br />(apologies for the slightly sarcastic website, but it makes the point) - we have to bear in mind that public transport illiterati will know what journey planner to use, or even what company operates their bus (surely the local council...?).<br /><br />If Stagecoach puts it in its app, Stagecoach has to update it. Stagecoach has to put in disclaimers about other people's data. Stagecoach gets all the complaints from people without the wherewithal to notice it isn't a Stagecoach service they are complaining about. <br /><br />And out of interest... if screenshots could be taken, would there be praise for having everything together, as supposed to two separate apps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-89165096024914280432016-10-06T09:43:14.610+01:002016-10-06T09:43:14.610+01:00If I use the First Bus App I get ALL operators'...If I use the First Bus App I get ALL operators' services with First's highlighted with a miniature version of their logo.<br />Very sensible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-59227913154164044732016-10-06T08:19:18.313+01:002016-10-06T08:19:18.313+01:00I would never use a single operator journey planne...I would never use a single operator journey planner because you cannot plan a journey reliably unless (as usual) you already knew the answer.fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-13695547147583378792016-10-06T06:18:28.926+01:002016-10-06T06:18:28.926+01:00If you are using the Stagecoach app to plan a jour...If you are using the Stagecoach app to plan a journey, why would you expecting to see other operators services?
