City bus scheme for home games - bus tracking (P91)

[matchdaybus]

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to provide a quick update following the last two match days.

We’ve been contacted by a few people (possibly from here) about MC5 and the delays to the service. While last night’s delay was due to the operator, we are looking at re-routing the service to mitigate the continued issues. We’re currently sorting this with the operator and will update on this in due course – likely after the Watford game.

Live tracking is something which I know has been requested. As I mentioned previously, this is something that we hope to integrate into the Bee Network App. In the meantime, we have created an interim solution which should allow buses to tracked on a matchday. This is dependent upon the operators setting up everything up correctly on their end, so apologies in advance if you check and your service doesn’t happen to be showing.

The tracking will be available at: https://tfgm.shinyapps.io/MCLiveV2/

Hi all due to new ticket machines 2, 3, 5, 6 , 11 and 12 are not tracking, apologies for this, we will keep going to improve this

Just done the Oldham 14 bus you need to change the route at newton heath, the bus is going up oldham road then turning back right down ten acres lane to Briscoe lane to go back up to newton heath because you can’t turn right up Briscoe lane from the stadium. It’s a joke , change the drop off on oldham road for newton heath on the return journey, you are pissing off 50 passengers for 1 person drop off.

What about the roadworks on Birdhall Lane?

Wonder if the Flixton/Urmston bus could start at Partington?

Lazy bastards should be walking from Newton Heath to the ground!

@matchdaybus . Don’t think match bus 8 was tracking. Do we just click on your link or is there an App we have to download

Maybe for whatever reason they can’t walk very far.

Where do you get the no.14 after the game - no longer on briscoe lane at fire station?

Read you get on at Eithad Campus v Brentford not there even though stated on bees website? Had to walk back to Failsworth up North Road.

Now says departs Eithad but where?

Cheers in advance

Just put on the tram thread how much easier the City bus was to get from Radcliffe tram station to the game. Also, definitely quicker to get home than parking near the stadium.
