About BearBus
Stop guessing when the shuttle is coming. BearBus puts every campus shuttle on a live map, tells you when the next one reaches your stop, and walks you there turn by turn. SEE EVERY BUS, LIVE • Every shuttle on the map in its route's color, moving along the street as it drives • Nearby stops listed by distance, each with live arrival times • Tap a stop for the next buses, which route they're on, and every stop they call at next • Filter the map to just the routes you ride ETAS YOU CAN TRUST • Arrival times come from a prediction model trained on real shuttle trips, not a fixed timetable • Times count down live and update as the bus moves, so "4 min" means 4 min GET ANYWHERE, DOOR TO DOOR • Search for a building, a stop, or any address, and BearBus finds the fastest way there: which stop to walk to, which bus to catch, and where to get off • If walking is faster, it says so • Turn-by-turn walking directions to the stop and from the bus to your destination, with the next turn always at the top of the screen • See the whole trip at a glance: every turn, every stop the bus passes, and when you'll arrive NEVER MISS YOUR STOP • BearBus notices when you've boarded and follows your ride • Your phone buzzes just before your stop, so you can keep it in your pocket MADE FOR EVERY DAY • Save your favorite stops and places for one-tap trips • Recent searches are one tap away • Full dark mode support • Found a wrong ETA?
