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.

Ratings and reviews

Technical update? The tram 16 in Bucharest is no longer available.

Doesn't Work anymore. Popup claims that the city bus provider hasn't provided updates. This would be ok for an isolated provider, but not every one I've chosen. This has been an issue for sometime, but no fix yet. There is obviously an issue with the Bustime app.

the application doesn't show anymore how many vehicles are on the route, their location, and many minutes are left until they arrive plus the application now show add on the button so I can't see the whole page because the adds can't be closed
