Transit app definitely has the same real-time arrival time as GRT (Transit app has a symbol above real-time data to distinguish it). However, I've noticed that the GRT and Transit mobile apps will sometimes have different real-time arrival data than is displayed on the signs at the bus stop.

Their transit data has always been plenty accurate from what I've seen in other cities, and from the work I've done with Google Maps, seems to be very fleshed out in KW too. Is there another layer to this that I'm not seeing?
Google Maps isn't real-time data, which makes it pretty much useless in this time of perpetual detours and delayed buses. Also, every seasonal schedule update there's a delay of a week or two where GRT data disappears off of Google Maps entirely - GRT always claims it's a problem on Google's side, which I find hard to believe.
