Features

  1. Real-time arrivals

    A second-by-second countdown for every bus, with stops away and the next bus.

  2. Route maps and live positions

    Find a route by bus number, or open it straight from a stop, and see where each running bus is right now.

  3. Arrival alerts

    Pick your bus and get notified 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes before it arrives, even with the app closed.

  4. Favourites and widget

    Name a stop like 'Work', pin only the buses you take, and check them on the home-screen widget.

  5. Crowding, seats and last bus

    Where the region provides it, see crowding, seats left, low-floor buses and the last bus of the day.

  6. Nearby stops and search

    Allow location to see stops around you instantly, or search by stop name or number.

Data and permissions

  • No sign-up, and nothing is sent to the developer's servers.
  • Location is used only to find nearby stops. Only an approximate position (rounded to 100 m–2 km) goes to Korea's public bus-information APIs, and stop search works without location access.
  • Notification permission is requested only when you turn on an arrival alert.
  • Favourite and recent stops, and saved stop and route information, stay on this device.
  • Arrival data comes from Korea's public transit data (MOLIT TAGO, Seoul, Gyeonggi) and may differ from actual times.
