Who has never been waiting at the bus stop, looking anxiously around every corner, trying to guess if that distant lighthouse was your bus approaching?
The good news is that, thanks to technology, that agonizing wait can be a thing of the past.
Today, we're going to talk about six amazing apps that let you track the bus in real time. So, get ready to embark on this technological journey with us!
Real Time Bus Apps
1. Moovit
The first app on our list is Moovit. Considered by many to be the “Waze of public transport”, Moovit gives you a real-time view of where the buses you need to take are.
In addition, the app provides detailed route information, including estimated bus arrival times and estimated travel time.
Another interesting feature is the “Move” function, which notifies you when you need to get off the bus. And believe me, that's a hand in the wheel when you're in an unknown city!
2. CittaMobi
Next stop: CittaMobi. This application was developed specifically for Brazilian public transport and is available in several cities across the country.
It shows the location of buses in real time and also provides estimates of when they will arrive at the bus stop.
But CittaMobi doesn't stop there. It also allows you to buy bus tickets directly from the app, which is a great convenience.
3. Quicko
Quicko is an application that combines information from various modes of transport, including buses, subways and bicycles.
It shows you the best route to get to your destination, taking into account traffic and other factors.
In addition, Quicko also offers real-time information about the location of buses. So you can know exactly how long you're going to wait, and you can plan your day accordingly.
4. Where is the Bus?
Now if you are tired of asking “Where is the Bus?” we have the solution for you. The application “Where is the Bus?” allows you to track buses in real time in several Brazilian cities.
In addition, it also provides information about bus lines, schedules and routes. And if you want to know when the next bus will arrive at the stop, just take a look at the app!
5. CityMapper
CityMapper is a multi-modal transportation app that works in many cities around the world. It offers real-time information about buses, trains, subways and even shared bikes.
The application also has a function that shows you the best route to reach your destination, using different modes of transport. And, of course, you can also follow the buses in real time.
6. Google Maps
Finally, we have good old Google Maps. It may be best known for its map and navigation functions, but it's also an amazing tool for public transport.
It shows bus routes, schedules and even the location of buses in real time in some cities.
In addition, Google Maps also offers multi-modal routes, so you can see how to combine buses, trains and walking to reach your destination in the most efficient way possible.
