Don't know which ticket is best for you? simply use the ticket finder to work out your annual usage and apply this to various ticket options on both skylink services. The app shows a handy table detailing all tickets and highlights the cheapest option based on annual usage.
Game
Got time to kill? see if you can guide bod and his plane over the trees and still avoid the oncoming air traffic!! this simple sprite game should keep you busy until your bus is due.
After you learn to refresh a few times to check what traffic is like (by checking the time and that it has dropped) it's a great little tool for not missing the buses no more standing around in the cold for 10 minutes when traffic is bad :)
App is ok. However the live departures is not good. I used this several times and I walked on to the road with the bus stop with 3-4 mins to spare (having kept refreshing) only to be over taken by the bus. Thus having to wait for the next. I really would have thought there would be basic GPS that makes this 'live' rather than a calculated guess.
Good idea! However, I would expect some sort of journey planner and an in-app ticketing buyer. Overall its a good app and is a great attraction for kids too! (With the game!)
Working now you have updated the derby bus station location. But still a few bugs like it can never find my location where as other apps can.
Very useful
Awful app, could not find a single bus stop on this app. Had to walk a mile before I found a bus stop myself! Waste of time this app!
by G####:
This app has as much correlation to the bus times as a psychic to predicting the future, it always tells me the wrong time for the bus and makes me late 4 out if the 5 days I use it, you may call me disorganised but this app is just downright nonsensical.
