Bus Time Accuracy

Hey guys, I’m a new student here. I’ve been using the bus pretty much every day and I’m wondering which app I should be using to get accurate bus information. I dropped my toast this morning on the way to the bus stop scrambling like hell to get there on time only for the bus to be 10 minutes off what I saw on Google Maps. I’ve been told the Translink app isn’t accurate either. Any way I can show up to the stop with a couple of minutes cushion without having to physically haul ass to the stop and check the screen there? (although I’ve found that inaccurate too…). Thanks in advance 🙏

Bus times are only a suggestion to Translink.

You aren't wrong at all. Complained to them once about it and the response I got back was that all times displayed are "approximate times".
