Hello, since the recent update to KABGO the bus pickup timings are very slow to update, and the live location of the bus is often lagging behind by few minutes, which makes the pickup not very smooth. The 2 minute waiting time for the passenger seems not included in the approximate bus arrival time as well. During peak times in the evening only few busses are available.
