Support & help

Directly from the public SEPTA and PATCO APIs, plus Indego's bike-share feed. Route Radar displays that data as the agencies publish it, so accuracy depends on their feeds.

Route Radar shows the times exactly as SEPTA publishes them, blending the official schedule with live vehicle positions. It doesn't invent or adjust times on its own — so when an arrival looks off, it's coming from the agency's data, not the app.

Lateness and vehicle positions come straight from SEPTA's real-time feed. When a vehicle's GPS drifts or its trip is reported inconsistently, that can show up as a bus that looks late, early, or briefly in the wrong spot — Route Radar is faithfully drawing whatever the feed reports, and it usually corrects on the next update.

A vehicle drops off the map when it stops reporting to SEPTA's feed — end of trip, a GPS gap, or a stale position the app filters out to avoid showing "ghost" buses. If it's still in service, it typically reappears once the agency's data refreshes.
