## Description

🚌 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

• Vehicle history: where a bus has been, with playback on the map.  
• Traffic layer on the map.  
  
💬 COMMUNITY
