Comment	I use McGills 38, their busiest route. I wait an hour on the bus every day after work, sometimes more. I have waited up to 2 hours before. I use the tracker app, their official app. The buses just disappear off it. It says its due in 5 mins, then it changes to 58 minutes, then 32 minutes, then it vanishes. The 1915 bus I get after the gym doesn't show. The 1936 bus, the 1950ish bus, none of them show. I get one at approx 2000. The 3 buses due after I finish work if I am going straight home don't show up, I eventually get a bus at about 1815, almost an hour after I arrived at the bus stop. In the AM, I often have to watch buses drive past me as they are chock full. I get on in Paisley headed to Glasgow. I am late for work most days because it is simply unpredictable and the only way around would be to leave absurdly early and as a point of principle I am not fucking doing that. The worst part is that they don't acknowledge it. They have made no announcements or updates to their services. They just take buses offline and divert them without notice. First are more expensive so I refuse to switch and going by this post, they're having the same nonsense issues. I tracked it for a few weeks. On average I spend 15 to 20 hours commuting to and from work. Getting to and from my minimum wage job _is_ a part time job.
