MicroSCZ — Your bus, in real time
How many times have you waited for the bus without knowing if it's coming, if it's already left, or if it's going to be much longer? MicroSCZ was created to answer that question.
What can you do with MicroSCZ?
🚌 Find your bus line
Enter the number or name of your bus and see its complete route on the Santa Cruz map.
📍 See nearby stops
Check the stops around you, which lines pass through each one, and how long until the next bus.
🕐 Know how long until it arrives
The app calculates the distance and the approximate ETA of each bus to your stop. Always with an honest range ("3–6 min") instead of a number that seems exact when it isn't.
🗺️ Track the route
Watch the bus move along its route, with direction, speed, and last update visible.
🔔 Receive alerts
Activate "Notify me when it's nearby" and receive a notification when your bus is just minutes away from your stop.
❤️ Save your favorites
Mark your usual bus lines and stops for quicker access every day.
🔍 Search for bus lines by your location
Discover which buses pass near you, without needing to know the line number beforehand.
Data transparency
In Santa Cruz, not all buses have GPS. That's why MicroSCZ always tells you how reliable the information is:
🟢 Real-time — the bus reported its position seconds ago
🟡 Recently updated — less than a minute ago
🟠 Old information — several minutes ago
⚪ No information — we don't have a location at this time
MicroSCZ never fabricates locations.
Driver Mode
Authorized drivers can activate Driver Mode to broadcast the bus's location in real time, helping the entire community.
Collaborative System
Did you see a bus that's not showing up? Is the bus stop in the wrong place? Has the route changed? Users can report it. Reports are validated before becoming official information.
Works Offline
Routes, stops, and favorites are saved on your phone. If you lose your connection, you can still see the map, routes, and the latest information.
