   Quick take on today's adventures with Flixbus live data

   What good is live data if I cannot act on it?

     @jon Tried going by Flixbus across the Belgium/Netherlands border last summer when the trains were in chaos. Got completely inaccurate live data, and then only some of the people waiting at the stop got the information that the bus wasn't actually coming after all and we were on our own. Luckily the trains started moving again relatively soon after.

     It's a shit company with shit service.

     @gustav @jon (Swebus was split off in the major restructuring of the previous state agency that did All Things Train into many different component parts, some run as state-owned companies, some being left as rump agencies, and all being made worse for it)

     @pettter @jon Taking the bus (intercity) in Sweden has been absolute shit since Flixbus bought Swebus which handled most routes pre-2018.
