Description

Commute smarter with a more accurate display of your next bus than the official apps of Arriva, Stagecoach, FirstBus and many other UK bus companies.

Are you fed up of standing around at the bus stop in the cold and rain, waiting for your bus to get to work?

Do you ever sleep in and rush around frantically getting ready for work, before running up to the bus stop to stand in the rain because your bus is delayed?

Bus Savvy is here to help you.

There's many bus apps available that will help you get from A to B, but what about when you get the same bus every single day?
You don't need all the faff and features most bus apps provide, making it difficult to get to the information you need.
All you want to know is "When is my bus due?"

Bus Savvy does this 1 thing and does it well.
Bus Savvy very quickly shows you when your next bus is due and in most cases can even show you exactly where the bus is, allowing you to leave the house only when you need to.


Never stand around in the rain more than you have to.

Out in the freezing cold with your gloves on? We've got you covered there too, with Siri support. Simply ask Siri when the next bus is due and it'll tell you.

To make Bus Savvy even quicker for you, you can also view the arrival times of the next buses due, directly on your home screen using iOS 14 widgets.

Bus Savvy also comes with a handy Apple Watch app, in case you leave your phone behind.

Well done

Much appreciate your brave attempts to solve this problem. It would be great if the default stop were to include both directions. And ideally allow more than one default stop. Very often you need to check connections to another route. And finally, are drivers able to switch off their transmitters? ( a 2a bus drove through Woodchurch this morning just after 7am without appearing on the app at all. Surely this should not be allowed). Meanwhile I shall look forward to all updates. Good luck….and thanks - Jon Hays

Developer Response ,

Thanks Jon. I have in fact been working on the feature that allows more than 1 favourite. It will be a premium feature when released however you can try it out now for free if you want to install the beta version (drop me an email for info). The app uses data directly from the bus companies so i'm not sure what a driver is capable of but i'd have thought any running buses should still be shown even if there is no gps location of the bus. - Darren

Money grabbing in todays cost of living crisis

You can’t use the app properly as all it does is go to the page of trying to sell you the premium page for a better service. you could have a better service if you remove this page and let people choose for themselves instead of showing it in their faces all the time which which makes it hard to use the app when you go onto other routes if you’ve already put a favourite route in you can’t choose another route most people catch more than one bus you’re as bad as move it the only thing with yours is it let you know if the bus is late and normally yours times are on time with the buses

Developer Response ,

Let me ask a question. Do you work for free? I doubt it. How dare you say I’m money grabbing because I need to earn a living from my work! I could easily make it a fully paid app, instead I let you use it with 1 bus stop FOR FREE. If you want to use my work that I spent months making but don’t want to pay, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with a few annoying pop ups. Don’t like it? Then either pay me for my work or stop using my app. Do you think apps grow on trees? They don’t. Someone has to spend months making them and updating them. That someone is me and I also have a family to feed!

The best bus app in Scotland

I like this app a lot, it's nice to be able to see the bus live. It's missing some stuff though, like showing a line in the map to see the route of a specific bus line and all the stops it goes through. That would help planning trips and with perception on how close the bus is and how many stops left it has before reaching mine.

EDIT: thank you to the developer for adding support for megabus in such a timely manner!!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your review and thanks for using my app. The original idea of this app, and what makes it unique, is it's designed for people that already know where they are going (Daily commute to work etc..) and just need to know where the bus is. Every other bus app is tailored to people that need to find a route. For this reason it's now not possible to add the extra details you've requested. However, I have spent the last week adding support for Megabus/Citylink for you (just update to the latest version). I hope this is good enough to win over that 5th star. Thank you again.
