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.

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.

the app is running good 👍 when there is no information , that means TFL is down, means all apps have no information, the most important thing is the on screen presentation, easy to see where you are and which busses are crossing through and which bus lines are stopping where you stand , just look at the letter on top of the bus stop .

Very good ap but annoying when you save your usual bus stops in order it won't save them it just goes to the last stop you looked for it used to do this before then they changed it , don't know y and it's really annoying !! also doesn't always show the right time when it's counting down the time for example it will say wait for 15 mins then the bus comes in 1 minute , quite frustrating . and more and more it's giving the wrong wait times I think there is a glitch they need to sort out !!!!

What’s new

Faster, lighter, and a lot less chatty behind the scenes. We trimmed a mountain of needless background noise, tidied up the ad plumbing, and swept out the last of the gremlins. Live bus, train and rail times — now with fewer moving parts.
