✅ Location sharing is completely optional - the app works perfectly without it
✅ When you do share location, it's only used to find nearby stops or plan a journey
✅ Your data is never sold or transferred to third parties
✅ Tracking transport, not people

📡 Data sources
Arrival predictions and journey planning are provided by Transport for London and National Rail Enquiries. As with any live data, times may update as conditions change - that's the point of a real-time app.

Ratings and reviews

Usually a great help, and timings are spot on. However, I have noticed lately that stops that I have bookmarked, and one in particular that I regularly use, are always showing the message 'no buses due at this stop' which has caused me to find alternative routes...... but buses are continuing the normal route, and are frequently calling at this bus stop (I have missed several buses due to this issue).

Excellent app, tops all the other London Bus apps I've used, includes all the best features of all of them. Highlights: stores 'Favourite' bus stops, tap on approaching bus to see exactly where it is now, shows index # of bus so you can find it in a busy bus station, also shows train departures when you look at a bus stop near an Underground station.

Recently the app has not been able to find the 269 bus which has recently changed from diesel to electric powered. It finds some of them but only about a third of them. This makes traveling by 269 bus quite tricky as the timetable is very erratic.
