Of course the big problem is that most Bristol buses don't run to the timetables at the times of day when most people want to use them, so the information isn't particularly useful (and as Chris Wallace's page points out, keeping track of all the buses would probably be prohibitively expensive). http://www.transportdirect.info/ does a rather better job than the traveline.org.uk site that “Travel Bristol” links to, including route schematics and maps (albeit without the route plotted, as in Google Transit).
