Released in December, several [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] apps went live on their respective App Stores, allowing customers to track where their buses were in real-time, as well as any delays or timetable changes as they occur. In 2013, this real-time data was further expanded to provide live information from [[Sydney Trains]], and private bus operators [[Hillsbus]] and [[Busways]] Blacktown, and was eventually rolled out across bus operators in Greater Sydney.
