App Description

Need to know when buses are arriving, and where they're going? This is the app for you.

Key Features:
• Get real-time (where available) or scheduled bus times for every stop in the Leicester area. Each stop has it's own departure countdown board for quick access.
• See every bus route near you, showing you where they go and which company operates them - plus you can search for bus routes as well.
• Live directions: search for somewhere, and we'll give you up to five ways to get there quickly by bus - it even takes disruptions and diversions into account.
• Save your favourite bus stops, and then rename them to something you'll remember: 'Near house' etc.
• The best location search around: we use a combination of our own search database and Foursquare, so whatever you type in - an address, a postcode, or even local places like pubs and restaurants, we'll show you the nearest bus stops.
• Only care about the services you use? Customise a bus stop's departure board so you only see the services you want to see.
• Get home fast: just press on the 'Get me home' button and the app will find the quickest bus routes for you
• Set a daily update for any bus stop - it'll send you the next three upcoming departures at a specific time of the day even when the app is closed.
• Your choice of maps: built-in maps or Google Maps - you decide!
• The best-designed bus app out there - fresh and clean, showing you only the information you care about.
• Bus stops and services update automatically whenever a service change occurs - so you don't need to worry about having to update stops near you.


What they say about us:

“I've searched for a decent bus app and having used this one I can say its the best I've used outside London. Very pleased.”
“Very useful app, have never missed the bus with this application.”
“This is a fantastic app. I'm a regular user of buse, and with this app it keeps me up to date - when I got lost this app directed me to a stop so I could get home. Many thanks!”


If you could take a moment to review our app after each update, we'd be really grateful. Your reviews help us improve and update our apps. We update our apps regularly - so tell us what you want to see at [email protected]

The app works best with an active data connection and GPS. Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
