Description
No more getting caught in the rain waiting for the bus! No more scratching your head and wondering if you had missed the bus! No more guessing when the next bus will arrive.
The DaBus app takes the guesswork out of catching the bus on the island of Oahu. It uses the near real-time arrival information, courtesy of the Oahu Transit Services, to provide the best estimated time on when the next bus will arrive. This app also tracks the current location of the bus you are interested using the GPS device installed on many of the buses. In addition, it also provides options to explore different bus routes and take a virtual ride to better understand its route.
This app is fun, simple and intuitive to use. Best of all, it is absolutely FREE!

Ratings and Reviews
Difficult for tourists unfamiliar with street names or bus numbers
As a frequent traveller to Honolulu, even I am having trouble finding bus routes and pick up locations. Can’t find the old 57 or 57a bus route from Ala Moana to Kailua by number or street. Am I missing something?
Great App
I’m from Calgary, Canada and use this app daily to get around Honolulu and other parts of the island. Showing when your bus is coming is fairly accurate. Having a favourites with the bus stop ID gives you quick and easy access so you don’t have to constantly put in the bus route or number. Best part is that is was developed by employees at Honolulu and not outsourced to another city!!!!!!
Unusable
Two of us sat on our lanai struggling to figure out how to find anything on this app. We wanted to know how to get from our hotel to Hanauma Bay, but there was no obvious place to enter a destination. Instead, it wanted to know the specific stop we wanted off at. When we finally figured out which stop we were heading to, it said “No routes found for this stop.” We tried multiple other locations with identical results. Maybe we were doing something wrong, but this is NOT a user-friendly app. Within half an hour, both of us had deleted if off of our phones deeming it useless and a waste of time. The companion website, thebus.org, wasn’t working either. We gave up on the bus system here altogether and used Uber instead. It may have cost us more money, but it saved us significant headaches and stress.
