Next Bus Dublin uses the Dublin Bus realtime information system to tell you exactly when your bus is arriving. No more guessing using fictional timetables! The app is packed with useful features, looks great and is easy to use.
Features:
- Support for routes operated both by Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland - Easily add, remove and re-order favourite stops to get your times as fast as possible. - Filter results to see only the routes you want at busy stops. - Bus alerts so you know exactly when to leave to catch your bus. - Route map previews so you can check out the route before catching the bus - Ability to see times for each stop along the route of your bus and the physical location of the bus (dependant on data availability). - Ability to export your favourites so you don't lose them when moving to a new phone. - Get bus times on your watch with Android Wear support!

Very handy app I used to use nearly daily. Unfortunately, the latest release has a bug that causes it to crash 100% of the time. Clearing cache as another reviewer suggested does not help. Doing a bit of digging it seems to be a null pointer error while attempting to read a string: Edited to 5 stars. Great app

Very strong app, compared to the last one the built in features are great. The tracking of a bus in 5 minute intervals so you've time to walk to the bus stop, the option between minute countdown and arrival time, filtering buses and also the fact when tracking a bus it'll automatically close the push bar notifications. A wonderful app upgrade and it's much stronger utilisation of Dublin bus scheduling. Do buses go missing? Yes I've had one. But I don't believe it's the apps fault.

This app is amazing and very user friendly! I can see the real time of buses arriving at stops and bring up the entire route on a map. There's so, so much more but this is all I need to make me happy. Highly recommend if you use Dublin Bus 👏
