“Brilliant need I say more.”
The only London bus app you’ll ever need.
Catching the bus in London can be complicated and frustrating at times. Luckily we have an app to solve that! No more waiting for a bus that isn’t coming and no more uncertainty about which bus to get. Bus Times London is the ultimate travel app. Check bus times to see if yours is running late, plan bus journeys with total ease and view the nearby bus stops in your location from anywhere in London.
Nearby Stops
Open the app and the first thing you’ll see are the bus stops closest to you in both a map and list view. This means that wherever you are in London (even if you’re a little lost) you can know exactly where to go. Every stop is accompanied by an arrow showing the direction of travel so you’ll never go to the wrong bus stop.
Live Arrivals and Number Plates
Tap on a bus stop in the map view or from a search and the app will take you to its arrival board. Never again will you be waiting for a bus that will never arrive and thanks to number plate information you won’t catch the wrong one either. Live alerts from TfL will also help you be prepared and stay one-step ahead.
– Did You Know? –
You can’t pay your London bus fare in cash, you have to swipe in with an Oyster or contactless card.
Route Planner and AR View
Stop staring at bus timetables and old maps, Bus Times London is here to simplify the whole journey planning process. See how many changes there are between buses, the length of the journey and arrival time. Bus Times London is the easiest travel app to use as the map view breaks down the route and shows you every step of the journey.
Bus Times London also has something new for iOS 11, an AR View that guides you to your bus stop. It places a walking like on top of real-world streets so you never lose your way. Learn more about AR View on our blog.
Playlists*
A brand new addition to the Route Planner for iOS 11 that creates personalised soundtracks for every trip. Each Playlist fits to the length and route of your journey with songs inspired by the names of bus stops, locations and landmarks.
Heading from Waterloo to Abbey Road your collection of music could jump from The Beatles to Metallica to Macklemore with a weird and wonderful mix in-between! Don’t like the songs chosen? Just shake to shuffle for a brand new Playlist.
*Playlists feature only available on iOS 11.
