My current location is Sydney, Australia, but all suggested destinations are in North America.
@mikeswcho Hi Mike, we are only suggesting in the description, you can go on the website to change your origin and destination, you are welcome to try :)
A very cool idea and I would definitely find this useful. upvoted.
1 important criticism; you need to add more services/timetables. For example, one of the destinations near me says the next bus is at 8pm (its 11AM now) and I know for a fact that buses go there every hour.
@matthewboyle25 Thanks for the feedback Matt! We have seen some similar issues to the one you are having, and trying to increase the reliability for those cases.
@matthewboyle25 Matthew, just a heads up to let you know that this particular issue as been fixed following your report.
I had a quick issue. I clicked for the next bus from MTL to TO and it was showing 10AM. When I clicked I brought me to list of choice. I went back to the previous page it still showed 10AM. Click on it again brought me to the list once more. When back again, refresh and than it showed 11AM, clicked on it and brought me to the expected page. So quick heads up on that issue.

@julien_meyland Cool! Thanks for trying it out Julien. We are investigating the issues that are showing up after posting to PH. Cheers!
@julien_meyland Julien, we have investigated the issue and the reason is that nextbus.to shows you the next sellable result. Greyhound, for example, enforces 1h cutoff for online ticket sales. The specific bus you are talking about therefore expired at 9AM. You likely loaded the page before 9AM but clicked past 9AM. Thanks for the feedback and we are planning to provide this information within the platform.
@mlescaudron Oh! That's a bad one! Thank you for letting us know, fixing it :)
