Locational information about many bus stops in a dataset used by journey planning apps is inaccurate to some degree, according to a public transport app and website company.

Journey planning apps such as Traveline, Citymapper and Google Maps all take data from NaPTAN (the National Public Transport Access Nodes) dataset. NaPTAN identifies all 400,000+ public transport points including bus stops, coach stations, railway stations, taxi ranks and ferry terminals.
