So some passengers have been getting burned by a bug if you will with BusTime. In the mornings, apparently BxM1 buses heading Southbound along Henry Hudson Parkway West for some reason show up on BusTime as running via Riverdale Avenue, when in fact they are via Inwood buses. I've noticed this on several occasions while waiting for the BxM1, and the problem is particularly messy for those that wait at the part-time stop at Riverdale Avenue and West 236th street and want that last via Riverdale Avenue BxM1 bus.
My question is why can't BusTime distinguish between the different types of BxM1 buses when they are clearly signed up as a via Inwood bus or a via Riverdale Avenue bus? What I see on BusTime is that the bus will list the next stop as being Riverdale Avenue and West 236th street the entire time that it is along Henry Hudson Parkway above 239th street. It is only after 239th street that it can distinguish which BxM1 is coming and then corrects itself, since at that point, buses either make a left and come around via Riverdale Avenue or make a right and continue along Henry Hudson Parkway West (service road).
