How we measure: A bus is "on time" if it arrives no more than 2 minutes early or 6 minutes late. A "ghost trip" is a scheduled service where the vehicle never appeared on GPS. Data comes from TransLink's live GTFS-RT feed, checked every 15 seconds.

Numbers are based on last 7 days and may not match what's happening right now. Transit Pulse is an independent project — not affiliated with TransLink or the Queensland Government.
