About Bustime: Bus Times & Routes
Know exactly when your bus is coming. Live arrivals, a real-time transit map and an A-to-B trip planner for 300+ cities. 10M+ downloads. 300,000+ riders every day. Since 2012. Free to use. Bustime shows every bus, tram, trolleybus, train and metro in real time using GPS from the vehicles themselves — see where your bus is right now, not where the timetable says it should be. PLAN YOUR TRIP • A-to-B trip planner with transfers and walking directions — start from an address, stop, map pin or your location. • Depart at or arrive by a chosen time, filter by transport type. • Save favorite places and trips, tap "Route here" right on the map. • Voice search: say "bus 5" or "from Central Station to the airport". LIVE ARRIVALS • Arrival forecast for every stop — in minutes or by the clock. • Stop board: all arrivals at a stop on one screen. • Timetables when there is no live data. • Multi-select: compare several routes on one screen. • City map: stops and vehicles around you. NEVER MISS YOUR BUS OR YOUR STOP • Waiting here — an alert when your bus approaches the stop. • Getting off here — voice, sound and vibration before your stop, even with the screen locked. Warns you if the bus leaves the route; super-vibration for those who doze off. • Live Activities and Dynamic Island: a live countdown on the Lock Screen. APPLE WATCH A standalone watch app: routes and live vehicles right on your wrist, synced with your iPhone settings. EVERY VEHICLE IN DETAIL • Vehicles move along the route in real time; low-floor buses are marked. • Vehicle profile: plate, model, carrier and rating. • Vehicle history: where a bus has been, with playback on the map. • Traffic layer on the map. COMMUNITY • Route and city chats. • Rate drivers and vehicles, add photos. • City news: route changes and disruptions. • Help improve the data: fix timetables, fares and routes. MAKE IT YOURS • 30+ color themes, your own color schemes, dark mode. • A custom color for each transport type, colorblind-friendly palettes. • Vehicle skins, icon packs, map themes, alternative app icons and fonts. • Live weather and animated effects in the header. • Choose the start screen and tile size, turn any feature on or off. • Settings presets — export and share them in one tap. ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE • Full VoiceOver support — the app adapts automatically. • Low-vision mode with large text and high contrast. • Left-handed mode and voice announcements. FOR DRIVERS Driver mode broadcasts the vehicle's location without a GPS tracker, shows the interval to the vehicles ahead and behind, and the built-in auto-announcer calls out stops. ALSO • iPad support, 42 languages, metric or imperial units. • Shake your phone to report a bug — it goes straight to the developers.
