Something that might be useful to consider: my bus home usually shows up on the TFI Live app with a ❗ symbol (but yellow and in a triangle) with "scheduled" beside it. In my experience "scheduled" means it only exists on the app and not on the real time info at the stop, and won't show up anyway.

My reading on that is that it means “scheduled but not running”.

Also this is so great and well done for setting it up!
