a. Arrival Status: Estimated time of arrival (ETA) is displayed when bus arrival time can be predicted. When prediction is unavailable, use the bus location and distance from your stop.

b. Last Message: "current" is displayed when bus data has been received in the last minute. If updates are not received, the bus is likely stopped at a school or layover or inactive (no messages in the last 15 minutes).

d. Your Bus Stop: represented by stop sign icon.

e. Bus Location & Distance: represented by bus icon and distance.
