Has anyone noticed this carbon copy of bustimes? Any ideas on why it even exists?

The Bustimes script is public so originally timesbus (and a few other more private sites) copied the script, timesbus has since made changes to the site but it is still currently the same styling as Bustimes and there are differences in how the site operates in terms of timetables, tracking and the vehicle editing. Their owners claim it to be more of a fleet list site rather than times tables. It's much more enthusiast led.

It additionally tracks First Bus in Scotland which bustimes doesn't.

Timesbus is incorrectly showing normal weekday times on some routes today whereas Bustimes has the correct bank holiday info

I'd not heard of timesbus till I saw it on here yesterday, and I couldn't access it then. I can see it today, but as mentioned above it's just nonsense.

I think it’s largely just someone’s ego trip.
