v1.2 — Backend Updates and map support, Feb 14, 2026

Added

  • Users can now properly report "bus arrived" / "bus departed" — server takes it seriously
  • New endpoint returns latest confirmed event for route
  • Reported events now instantly update route/stop status for everyone else
  • Prediction no longer tells people the bus is coming in -2 min after someone already said it left
  • Frontend auto-polls every 20s when you're staring at a route/stop — feels almost live
  • If timetable is already missed and someone reports departure → we push the next bus forward instead of lying

Fixed

  • No more negative arrival times after a departure report
  • Less "bus coming in 0 min" when timetable is stale and no live data

Limitations

  • Accuracy is only good if enough people bother reporting
  • No push notifications yet — still gotta stare at the screen and wait for poll
  • Prediction still rough when no recent reports and timetable is way off

Keep reporting — the more people use it, the less stupid the ETAs become.
