KEY FEATURES

🧭 Route from A to B — plan the best journey by public transport. Bustime picks the best option with transfers and tells you where to get on and off. We factor in schedules, traffic and real-time data, so the time estimate is accurate. Compare options and choose the fastest.

🗺 Transport on the map in real time — follow vehicles on an interactive map: how many are on the route, which are low-floor, and when the next one reaches your stop.

⏱ Accurate arrival prediction — know the arrival time and plan your departure.

🔔 Smart notifications
— "Waiting here" — an alert when the bus approaches your stop.
— "Getting off here" — a reminder as you near your stop.
They work in the background, even with the screen locked.

⭐ Favorite routes and stops — save, group, and share links with friends.

📋 Bus timetables by stop when there's no live data.

🚌 Multi-select — compare arrival times of several routes at once.

📓 Vehicle history — where a specific vehicle was during a given period.

💬 Route chat — live chat between passengers and drivers. There's a citywide chat too.

⭐ Reviews and ratings — rate specific drivers and vehicles.

📰 Transport news — route changes, disruptions and updates in your city.

🚗 Driver mode — drivers broadcast their location straight to Bustime servers, even without a GPS tracker. The built-in auto-announcer calls out stops aloud — indispensable when working without a conductor.

✏️ Help improve the data — edit routes, fares and operators right in the app.
