Who has never been waiting at the bus stop, anxiously looking at every corner, trying to guess if that distant light was your bus approaching?
The good news is that, thanks to technology, this agonizing wait may be a thing of the past.
Today, we're going to talk about six incredible apps that allow you to track the bus in real time. So, get ready to embark on this technological journey with us!
Real-Time Bus Applications
1. Moovit
The first app on our list is Moovit. Considered by many to be the “Waze of public transport”, Moovit offers you a real-time view of where the buses you need to catch are.
Additionally, the app provides detailed route information, including estimated bus arrival times and expected trip duration.
Another interesting feature is the “Move” function, which notifies you when you need to get off the bus. And believe me, this is a great help when you're in an unfamiliar 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 through the app, which is a huge 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 reach 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 will wait and 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 “Where’s the Bus?” allows you to track buses in real time in several Brazilian cities.
In addition, it also provides information about bus lines, timetables and itineraries. 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 multiple cities around the world. It offers real-time information about buses, trains, subways and even shared bikes.
The app 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 track 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 incredible tool for public transportation.
It shows bus routes, timetables and even the location of buses in real time in some cities.
Plus, Google Maps also offers multi-modal routes, so you can see how to combine buses, trains, and walking to get to your destination as efficiently as possible.
