Why Jointly operated route cannot display as one page
Sorry for the inconvenience caused
Since all the data are returned by different bus companies, The format returned from different party may vary and we couldn't merge the data from all sources*.
For example, route 102 is jointly operated by KMB & CTB, KMB is returning 34 stops in this route while CTB is returning 36 stops in this route.
How often did widget refresh？
iOS has full control on how often the widget is refreshed as it needs to balance the battery / data consumption.
So we couldn't know how exactly it will refresh. If you would like to refresh immediately, you can click the widget then quit the app. If you are looking for a more real-time and continuously refresh, please click the widget and use the app.
Why I cannot see Island Line, Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line and MTR Bus?
Since MTR has not provided the data of the above line and bus.
If MTR has provided the data in future, Datatone will support them asap.
