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

• 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.

🔔 NEVER MISS YOUR BUS OR YOUR STOP
