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
