How about giving passangers some notice or at least indication when the company can't find a replacement driver instead of letting them see the driver walk away and just wait there as busses come and go? Also if a stop is closed how about a big sign saying the bus is closed as well instead of the driver acting annoyed that people waited there. Even the app didn't say the walnut avenue U1A/U1C stop was closed.

The latest updates, with bus stops at all zoom levels and bikes availability makes the app too slow to load and update buses status. I am not sure it's worth it. There are other apps for bikes availability and you can't book one on unilink bus app so it seems useless. Similarly, bus stops at all levels not very useful.
