Please be aware that this app requires an internet connection and location services for full functionality.

* This app uses data from our data provider. Although we try our best to minimise inaccuracies, missing data & incorrect predictions may cause incomplete/inaccurate times. Please notify us if this occurs.

Required Permissions for Android 14 and Above

To ensure optimal functionality and provide the best user experience, our app requires certain permissions on Android 14 and newer devices:

- Foreground data sync: This permission is necessary for the bus times home screen widget to fetch and display the most up-to-date bus arrival information.
- Foreground media playback: This permission is essential for the "Track & Remind" feature to play audible alerts when your selected bus is about to arrive, even when the app is not in the foreground.
- Background location: This permission is optional and used to monitor your trips to provide proactive disruption information and suggest alternative routes for faster travel. You can enable or disable this feature in the Rewards and Smart Alert feature in app.
We value your privacy and assure you that these permissions will only be used for the stated purposes and will not be used to track your location in the background without your explicit consent. You have the option to turn off background location via your Android settings.

Live arrival information is sourced directly from Transport for London (TfL) and other public data sources. While we strive to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, delays, disruptions, and unforeseen circumstances may occur. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies, errors, or delays in the information provided.

I was very happy to find a London transport app with widgets allowing you to display upcoming departures for specific routes on buses/trains. I've not found another app that allows this. Unfortunately it does not seem to work for trains, if you try to view the train routes in the widget it freezes the widget and it stops working. Please fix this feature.

It is useful as a tool for getting upto date bus times (whether that is nearby or at a particular bus stop further afield), but one thing I have noticed is that it uses up a lot of data, and I do mean a lot of data that you start to think what is it doing. So, my mobile data usage sky rocketed whilst using it even though in one single day. On this given day, it said the app used just over 1.4GB of mobile data and that was intermittent use. Just something that people need to be careful of.

I’m experiencing significant issues with the app following the latest update. Previously, the app functioned without problems, but now I am unable to locate bus routes and cannot add favorite bus stops. Since the update, the app has become unreliable and is no longer meeting my expectations.

Truer arrival times: countdowns follow the live bus, and gone buses now say "Departed". Plus less background noise and fresher plumbing.
