I've done that, but for me it only shows "send feedback".

You have hit the wrong one-when you have selected a stop(from the map) and saved it, tap on the stop it will give you departures for rest of the day and beyond-look for the one with the coloured symbol(real time) --tap on that trip and it will allow you to tap on top-right-hand corner which will give you the option of Vehicle details or send feedback. Hope that helps.

That's what I was doing, yet still the only option I have is "send feedback".

Hi jibb & TA3001, may I ask which version you are using? For me, myStops is 0.11 beta & TripMate Adelaide Lite is 3.2.5, cannot find any fleet information on both, and it seems they are not available on Google Play anymore...

My version is 0.13 beta for my stops. I originally paid for this version.

I'm also using version 0.13 beta. But I don't have the paid version. It was initially a red coloured icon when I downloaded it through Google Play on 15/12/17, then it changed to green not that after.

I've only got 0.11 beta, has a red icon, and according to Google Play Store was updated on the 24th of June, 2017. I also didn't pay for this version. I also have Tripmate for Adelaide and Canberra, only the Canberra one shows fleet numbers though.

Thanks for the link. However neither Tripmate nor myStops currently appear in GooglePlay.

Having done some programming with the SIRI realtime feed I can appreciate the work involved in keeping up to date with the GTFS static timetables.

For some reason, myStops is showing departures with no actual RTI for the trip imminent departure as being on time. Subsequently, there is no vehicle ID with some of the runs that are visible.

It even shows this with runs that presumably haven't had the trips entered i to the BCU yet. I'm not sure whether this is Admet issue or a problem with the app, but it's not really friendly towards knowing whether or not a certain run has been entered into the system.

It is rather misleading and should be fixed asap in my opinion.

For my downloading of the SIRI real-time data from the Admet website (which is then used by all apps), what I have observed is that the data returned from a stop query comes from at least two sources. One is the real-time information that is fed from individual vehicles into the central system. However if no current information is available enabling arrival time to be estimated for a particular trip, the system defaults to scheduled timetable data which is loaded into the system on the previous evening. This ensures that in the absence of real-time info, at least some info is returned about a trip, rather than no info being returned.

On the Admet website the real-time estimates are clearly distinguished by an icon from the default schedule information. However it is up to individual apps how exactly the information is presented to users.
