🚌 Know exactly when your bus is coming! Bustime is a live bus tracker with real-time arrival times, a 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 on a live map using GPS from the vehicles themselves — see where your bus is right now, not where the timetable says it should be.

🧭 TRIP PLANNER FROM A TO B
• Plan public transport trips with transfers and walking directions — from an address, a stop, a map pin or your location.
• Depart now, depart at or arrive by a chosen time; filter by bus, tram, metro or train.
• 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 ARRIVAL TIMES
• Real-time bus arrival times for every stop — in minutes or by the clock.
• Stop board: all arrivals at your bus stop on one screen.
• Bus timetables and schedules when there is no live data.
• Compare several routes on one screen.
• City map: bus 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.
• Works in the background and on the lock screen: a live notification shows the countdown to your bus.
• Off-route warning and super-vibration for those who doze off.

⌚ WEAR OS
A separate watch app: routes and live buses right on your wrist.

🗺 LIVE TRANSIT MAP
• Buses, trams and trolleybuses move along the route in real time; low-floor vehicles are marked.
• Vehicle profile: plate, model, operator and rating.
• Vehicle history: where a bus has been, with playback on the map.
• Traffic layer on the map.

💬 COMMUNITY
• Route chats and city chat.
• Rate drivers and vehicles, add photos.
• City news: route changes and service 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, app icons and fonts.
• Live weather and animated effects.

• Settings presets — export and share them in one tap.

♿ ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE

🚍 FOR DRIVERS
