Known Issues
- New DC Circulator Route Not Available
9/19/10 We are aware that DC Circulator is operating a new route, the Rosslyn - Georgetown route, that is not yet available in the app. The configuration information for this route is not yet available to us in the NextBus system so we have not been able to release a data update to incorporate it. As soon as that configuration information is available we can include it in the next update to the app.
Common Questions
- How accurate are the predictions ?
NextBus predictions are not perfect and should not be relied upon in emergency situations. In general though, the margin of error is less than one minute for predictions of 5 minutes of less. For 10 minute predictions, the margin of error is less than two minutes. NextBus has biased the predictions slightly early to help you avoid missing the bus.
- What does "No Prediction" mean ?
"No Prediction" means that NextBus is unable to predict for the stop you are interested in. Often this is because the bus is not running, but can also mean that the tracking device on the bus is not reporting a position, or that for some reason the vehicle is deviating from its usual route. If the bus is scheduled to operate, check back in a few minutes for an update.
- What does "0 Minutes" mean?
This means that the vehicle is at, or very near to the stop
