Version History of My Bus Times

1.16

August 18, 2021

San Francisco Bay Area listings have been updated to include agencies that don't have real-time capabilities, such as ferries and some rail, shuttle and bus systems. For those agencies, arrival times are based on their published time tables.

1.15.2

August 13, 2021

Small bug fixes.

1.15.1

April 10, 2019

AC Transit (in the SF Bay area) has transitioned to a new real-time system, and so did we. If you have created any AC Transit stops before version 1.15, please update them before April 29, 2019. Just use Edit Stop and then Save. Or, you can use fast lookup by route and stop name, picking AC Transit (new).

April 8, 2019

AC Transit (in the SF Bay area) has transitioned to a new real-time system, and so did we. If you have created any AC Transit stops before version 1.15, please update them before April 29, 2019. Use fast lookup to switch to the new system.

1.14

June 19, 2018

A long overdue refresh: now works with all iOS device screen sizes and orientations. New: - Displays properly on iPhone X, and now runs on all iPads. - You can now rotate to landscape orientation - turn your old iPad into a sign board for the bus stop outside your business. - Details text is now centered to give the whole app a more sign board look. - A number of new transit agencies have been added: the 3 major airport shuttles around NYC, Winston-Salem, Tahoe/Truckee, Escalon, RTC Ride Reno, UC Berkeley shuttle, Big Blue Bus, Glendale Beeline and UCLA shuttle to name just a few. Bug fixes: - Stop lookup headings should all be correct now. - Rogue Valley Transit District (RVTD) is operational again. - Removed transit agencies that are no longer supported by the real-time APIs. Notably, the APIs for MARTA and several Atlanta transit agencies have been down since January, 2018. - Removed alternate stop lookup methods that were no longer functional. This is only a small detriment to the Minneapolis data, where stop lookup results in seeing only one route, but manually entering the stop number gives you all routes stopping at the stop. This app still remains the #1 app in fastest time to seeing stop predictions on your Apple Watch or iPhone, and now also on iPad.

1.13

May 25, 2016

In this version, we have flagged several SF Bay Area data feeds that 511.org has scheduled for replacement and put the preferred data feeds for AC Transit, MUNI and BART at the top of the list. We recommend you switch your stops to these feeds. The outage was originally scheduled to begin June 17, but has been delayed based on our feedback. We will be updating the affected agencies as soon as we get access to the new API. We apologize in advance for any disruption and hope to provide a seamless transition.

More

1.12

December 29, 2015

- alternate AC Transit feed added - East Bay Wheels has been added - but it looks like there is limited real-time coverage so far - removed references to website stop lookup that were resulting in 404-not found (stops that were affected in this way were not showing arrival times and will need to be looked up again)

More

1.11

December 3, 2015

*** We are aware of the issue with NextBus lookup and arrivals, and have submitted a fix *** *** The AC Transit feed that was down since Sunday is operational again *** - New Transit agencies: Tampa HART, Medford Rogue Valley RVTD, San Diego MTS (experimental),, San Joaquin Valley RTD (experimental), and York Region YRT in Ontario. - SF Bay Area route list is much shorter / less scrolling - now you select the direction of the route in the next step. - NextBus agencies now reside in its own Region. - Portland is now located in the Oregon region. - Fixed a bug that only occurred with Portland arrivals on Apple Watch. Be the first to review this new version!

More

1.10

October 7, 2015

- New agencies: Portland TriMet bus and rail plus 4 Atlanta, Georgia agencies, including MARTA bus and rail. - New SmartPaste feature when searching for stops on agency web pages such as Minneapolis, Vancouver, Honolulu, New York's MTA, 511.org and agencies serviced by NextBus. When you navigate to the web site's stop arrivals page, SmartPaste will detect the stop number and will automatically fill in the stop for you, just like the existing Fast Lookup feature does. - Stop name lookup now also works for Minneapolis. And the route names now match how they look on the MetroTransit website. - Vancouver now has a fast stop lookup choice - Service announcements are available for TriMet. - Over 120 US and Canadian agencies are now accessible on your iPhone or Apple Watch. - A crash seen only once in version1.6 has been fixed. If you agree that this is one of the simplest and fastest commuter apps around, please take a minute to write a review on the app store.

More

1.9

October 6, 2015

- Added Hawaii region for the city and county of Honolulu - thebus.org - Added a second BART option to San Francisco that fetches data directly from BART. If you're currently using the 511.org variant for BART (with a numeric stop indicator), please switch to "BART (preferred)". It's even simpler to set up: just choose the departing stop and direction. You'll see more details such as number of train cars, the new Express train indicator and whether bikes are excluded. Delays and other advisories are also shown for BART. - Better arrival estimates for New York City MTA express busses. - Continued simplification of the arrival report so you get no fluff, just what you need to know to catch your bus or train. You control the size of the detail list on the Apple Watch by adjusting the text size in the watch settings for dynamic text. If you agree that this is one of the simplest and fastest commuter apps around, please take a minute to write a review on the app store.

Description of My Bus Times

This version is fully compatible with iOS 9 thru iOS 14 on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple Watch. Includes iPad support and rotation to landscape for all supported device sizes. Congratulations! You just found one of the fastest commuter apps in the App Store. Whether it's on your Apple Watch or iPhone or iPad, we've got you covered so you spend less time waiting at your stop. Two quick taps and you'll see when your next bus or train will arrive in a simple layout with nice large fonts. Not interested in the other routes stopping there? Just tap on the title until you see only your route. Enter whatever you like for the title and subtitle of each stop. Newly entered stops appear at the top, but you can rearrange the order any way you like. My Bus Times provides real-time transit information (not schedules) for over 125 agencies in dozens of US and Canadian metropolitan areas and presents it on your iPhone with lightning speed. Please give us a review, especially if you like it! The following transit agencies are available now : 43 California bus and rail agencies including BART, CalTrain and LA Metro, Vancouver buses, 5 New York City bus agencies, Washington DC bus, Circulator and rail, 10 Seattle / Puget Sound agencies, 5 Boston and Massachusetts agencies, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, Ontario, Quebec, Virginia, Honolulu and Minneapolis / St Paul. SF data is provided by 511.org, BART, and NextBus, Vancouver data is provided by TransLink. NYC data provided by MTA. RVTD, MTS, SJRTD, York (YRT) and Puget Sound data and MTA lookup provided by OneBusAway, Twin Cities data from Metro Transit. Boston data from MBTA and NextBus, Honolulu data provided by thebus.org. Portland data provided by TriMet. All other regions by NextBus and their respective agencies. How to set up: You define your frequently used stops on your phone by stop ID and name them for easy reference. Use Fast Lookup or the agency website with SmartPaste to find your departure stop in advance by route and the route's destination, or just check the sign at the stop. Website SmartPaste tells you when you've navigated to a single stop and grabs the stop number for you. After you've entered a stop ID, its location is displayed to the right. Tap it to auto-fill the stop title. The stop subtitle is a good place to remind yourself where you're going. For example, "To Work" or "From Work to Home". You can rearrange, modify or delete your stops so the ones you need most are at the top. Customize the text so it looks great on the Apple Watch. Once that's done, whenever you open the app on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, choose your stop and real-time arrivals of all routes at that stop appear instantly! This app works best if you configure your Apple Watch to Resume Previous Activity on Wrist Raise. This setting is found only on your iPhone's Apple Watch app. When using this app as a transit board, be sure to keep your device on a power source and turn off auto-lock in Display Settings so the screen does not go to sleep. Check out our sister app on AppleTV: Bus Board Let us know which transit agencies you want by filling out the contact form.

  • Rip off!

    How dare you charge 1$ or 1.99 or whatever the price to get the app by the way which is -functional- in the way described. I wouldn’t exactly say it has any use or makes finding the bus times on your watch any easier or faster than OneBusAway in the phone. (Which is what I would have assumed would be the main reason someone would have written an app like this for) but oh no they only want money. Because after you pay to purchase the app. Then to add more than TWO stops it says you pay more money to unlock the -get this- FOUR stop feature. You gotta be kidding me.

    Developer Response

    I'm sorry you feel that way about a commuter app for the Apple Watch. OneBusAway does not have Apple Watch support, nor does it have as many regions as this app, and uses more iPhone battery when it uses GPS to display maps. When I have a stop selected on my Apple Watch, each time I raise my wrist, the latest stop information shows in under a second. If this is not the case for you, then please send a message to bugs@orologics.com. The price per stop (~$0.49) on My Bus Times is less than a single transit fare these days. And you're free to repurpose any stop to whatever stop you need at the time if you want to save money.
  • Best Nextbus app for Apple Watch, but hard to set up

    I live in San Francisco. There are a bunch of Apps that show bus arrival predictions for Muni and other transit systems. Many of them work across the country, not just my area. Several of these have apps for the Apple Watch.

    This app is the only one that works well across the country on the Apple Watch and is the only one I use. It's a little complicated to set up your favorite stops, but once you do, the selection screen opens on your watch quickly. You click on a stop and details pop up quickly. A big number at the top counts down the minutes until the next bus. If the stop serves multiple lines you can touch the big number and it will switch to the next line. I leave this screen showing on the watch until the bus is visible so I can raise my wrist at any point and immediately see the big number.

    If you scroll down from the big number, you get smaller text showing the details of the next few buses that will arrive at that stop from all lines.

  • Great app but lacks titles for stops

    This is a great and simple app for knowing when your buses arrive at the stop you use the most. However it would be really nice to see a label for the bus stop as opposed to the bus stop number. Having just bus stop numbers makes me have to memorize each of the bus stops I frequent.

    Developer Response

    This app has always allowed you to set a title and even a subtitle for each stop. It sounds like you just left them blank. Simply edit the stop and type in whatever labels you need to make finding your stops easier.
