QuoteACTION is blocking attempts to create a free bus timetabling application, according to the Greens.

Greens MLA Amanda Bresnan said she suspected the motive for blocking access to GPS bus movement data was it would reveal problems in Canberra's public transport system.

''We can only speculate, but that's our perception. That it's a threat to ACTION. That we have buses not running on time and buses not turning up ... [this software] will show things like that,'' Ms Bresnan said.

Ms Bresnan said there were no commercial-in-confidence reasons for withholding the data.
