Thanks for your comment!

> does it highlight when there’s no real time data for a bus on a route?

From memory there is a `realtime: boolean` attribute on each bus object and it would be missing location data – so I don’t believe those buses are displayed (or highlighted) on the map.

If they were, the line would be a very consistent slope; the “reference” timing for the bus route.

> it’ll show up just before the next scheduled one

Interesting, I haven’t noticed this phenomenon before. I’ll pay closer attention!

One of the things i’ve noticed when taking buses is that if the opal real-time app doesn’t show the bus it’ll show up just before the next scheduled one and then there’ll be the bus bunching as visualised.
