I’ve seen the same thing, but I think that’s when the live tracking isn’t working for whatever reason or there was a cancelled bus, so the app reverts to the posted bus schedule. If it has the signal icon next to the time then it’s live but if it’s not there then it’s way less accurate.

Hmm I wonder… police… young black men… is there any reason why someone may be worried that interaction could go south…?
Like, I’m also a white woman and I agree with the previous commenter. I’m going to always hesitate to call the police, especially on young black men, when we know that someone could end up being killed. Yeah, street harassment is terrible and makes women feel unsafe. But even if the risk is small, I don’t want to be the reason someone ends up dead for a situation I can get out of on my own. And I’m mostly talking about petty things, like street harassment, vandalism, noise complaints, things that aren’t life or death. There are absolutely situations where I would call the police, but I think it’s A Good Thing Actually for white people to think for a couple seconds about the ramifications it can have on others before doing so.
