So at 11:57, the next bus to Epcot was arriving at 11:56? Holy shades of time travel, Batman!

Are the boards at all the resort bus stops or just certain resort levels?

All of them.

Ha, we affectionately call these the Board of Lies Seems like whenever we're waiting for a bus, the time just keeps changing to further and further out!

There is a good reason for that. They are actual wait times generated from GPS devices. If they get stopped in traffic, or have to load/unload scooters etc, the times lengthen in a related fashion.

Just the Value Resort Level.



JUST KIDDING!LOL

All Resorts have Bus Boards and all have the new displsy.

Oh we know why, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating at times! It is kind of fun though when the busses do actually arrive at the time predicted.

How often do the buses actually arrive within 5 minutes of the displayed time? About 50%? How off are the times usually?
Just trying to go into this with reasonable expectations...

Not at the parks, but yes, at all resorts and at all stops at all resorts

LOL.. good catch. Bus was likely picking up while OP posted
The one thing they don't do is update to say "Bus has arrived" so when the bus comes it doesn't change till it leaves and the time drops off totally for a short time, till the next bus is dispatched.

Darn that would be great at the parks too maybe like between every couple of resorts, would keep ppl in line a little more patient lol

I've been saying this exact thing since the bus boards went up at the resorts. For someone, like me, who stays at Pop that is more than ok with taking an AOA bus back it would be great to actually know which was due to arrive sooner. A few at the bus map that lists which stop services which resort would be awesome to. You know, so I would know whether I can leisurely stroll to the bus stop or if I need to pick up the pace so I'm not in for a 20 minute wait.

OMG, these are much better! Easier to read for my old eyes It would be nice to have the next bus time too when there's a big crowd.
