HELP KEEP YOUR BUS LIVE (OPTIONAL)
The app asks you once. If you say yes, while you ride a bus, tram or train your phone helps keep that vehicle live on the map for everyone. It starts and stops by itself; turn it off any time in More > Helping others. We never keep a history of where you've been linked to you, and we never sell location.
TIMES WE CHECK EVERY NIGHT
Every night we compare the times we showed with when vehicles really arrived. In our first checks, on Irish buses in October 2026, about 7 in 10 buses due within 5 minutes arrived within a minute of the time Flagstop showed.
WHAT'S COVERED
Ireland: Dublin Bus, Go-Ahead Ireland, Bus Éireann including Expressway, Luas, DART, commuter and InterCity trains, and bike schemes such as Dublin Bikes, plus timetabled Local Link, coach and island ferry services.
Northern Ireland: Translink buses and trains, and Belfast Bikes.
Where no live positions are published, for example many coaches and ferries, Flagstop shows timetable times and marks them clearly.
DISCOUNTS AND PARTNER LINKS
