🔹 Improvements from the new live bus‑tracking system, as well as the remaining issues IT is working on, such as the limited number of buses appearing on the departure list.
🔶Social Media Insights with focus on:
🔹The post-summer uptick in overcrowding concerns on trains.
🔹two recurring problems HBLR customer talk about: the elevators issues and the upcoming outages, as well as the Departure signs malfunctions in stations. More info to come soon.

Concerns per customer rose 40% in September, matching levels from this period in 2025. The increase was driven mainly by delays and cancellations, which also pushed overcrowding concerns back into the Top 7. However, cleanliness concerns declined.
