6 GREAT THINGS ABOUT TRANSIT:
THE BEST REAL-TIME INFO

Transit works with all the major operators in the West Midlands — from National Express West Midlands, National Express Coventry, Diamond Bus, Stagecoach Midlands, and West Midlands Metro, to dozens of local coach and community transport providers like Arriva Midlands, Ashbourne Community Transport, Thandi Red, Solus, Banga Buses, and many more. We combine their official data with our own prediction engine to give you the most accurate live times possible for every mode of transport — buses, trams, coaches, and more. On your bike? Transit also shows you the safest cycling routes.

TRAVEL OFFLINE

Bus timetables, stop locations, tram maps, and even the journey planner are available offline — so you can still plan your trip without mobile data.

Ratings and reviews

I really loved this app until the most recent update, which completely changed the ui and some of the functions. With the new update, it's harder for me to tell which bus I am taking and when it will arrive. While I'm on the bus, the app no longer shows me all the stops on the route. It does not show me the full route on screen, and it keeps zooming in to the bus no matter what I do, so I cannot see how close I am to my destination. The notifications now alert me after my stop and not before it.

Inaccurate bus arrival time has me missing work on so many occasions. It says the bus will arrive at a certain time, then will switch up and says it has already passed or will arrive 10 minutes sooner. Please fix this. Update: This new update is awful. The directions to scan for an all say pass are terrible, and they don't make any sense. It's so complicated, and for what reason? It honestly feels like the app is stealing from us. I wish it would just change back. Terrible.

Constantly have to force stop when, after reaching one's destination, the app won't work correctly when attempting to connect to an adjoining route - it basically has to be reset (via force stop) to restore its normal functionality. Another bug issue is that you can only change the app icon color a few times before it "locks" and it can no longer be changed without uninstalling / reinstalling, which afterwards warns you you'll have to contact them if you uninstall / reinstall again. What a mess.
