Bars show what hour of the day each incident from the past 7 days was first detected. Tall bars during commute hours mean the service is failing exactly when riders depend on it most.

Reliability by trip

Pick a route and direction to see how reliable each scheduled trip actually is, based on the last 30 days of tracker data.

How this works

Every 2 minutes, an automated tracker pulls live Hudson Link bus positions from the same public real-time feed that powers the official Hudson Link rider app. We watch every bus on every Hudson Link route.

A bus is logged here automatically when (1) Transdev's own system flags it as delayed, (2) it stops moving for six minutes or more, or (3) it disappears from the feed mid-route.

This data is combined with rider-submitted ghost bus reports from the form on our main page to build an evidence record for accountability.

Note: Hudson Link does not currently publish a GTFS-Realtime feed, even though it's a publicly funded service operated by Transdev under contract with NYSDOT. We've filed a Freedom of Information Law request asking NYSDOT to publish one.
