IT'S COOKED
240 of 323 buses (74%) late, no-show, or cancelled in the last 24h.

This is about the network, not the person driving — delays and no-shows almost always trace back to scheduling and resourcing, not the driver.

What is this?

An independent tracker for Queenstown's Orbus network. It watches every bus's real GPS position live, checks that against the actual published timetable (not just what the operator's own app claims), and turns "the bus didn't come" into a timestamped, verifiable record. Not affiliated with Otago Regional Council, Orbus, or Ritchies.

Why this exists

A bus that just doesn't show up isn't a one-off -- it's a pattern nobody was tracking until now. If you don't have a car in Queenstown, "check again later" isn't good enough when it's how you get to work or get home after a shift. You're not imagining it, and you're not the only one it happens to -- this is what the numbers actually look like.
