This report specifically addresses one key customer challenge - the presentation of information about a journey for which a bus then does not appear at the customer location, often referred to as ghost buses.
It is an extract from the document RTIGT041 Accuracy and Quality of real Time Predictions and provides guidance on the causes of Ghost Buses.
