You only ever take a handful of routes. Bus Habits is not a route list. It is built around your habits — "morning commute", "school run", "heading out after work" — and each one holds the few routes you actually take. Open it at the right time of day and the arrivals you need are already on screen. Nothing to pick, nothing to search. ・Live arrivals for KMB, Citybus, green minibus and the MTR ・Straight from data.gov.hk — the same feed as the sign at the stop ・Up to five routes per habit, which is enough and stays readable ・A reminder before you leave, at a time you choose ・Public holidays can be silenced per habit, so a holiday does not wake you ・A home screen widget, for when opening an app is too much ・iCloud sync, so a new phone is not a fresh start ・No ads, no account, no tracking What it deliberately does not do: No timetables. The open data publishes "next arrival" and nothing else, so inventing a schedule would look useful and be untrue. No Light Rail, trams or ferries — and no red minibuses, which publish no real-time data at all. Arrival times are the operators', as current as they make them. Traffic is traffic. Tips are optional. Nothing is locked behind them. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | A coffee | $4.99 | one-time | | A lunch | $9.99 | one-time | ## Is Bus Habits safe?

The stop you chose last time is marked too. The search box is larger and plainly a search box. Choosing a direction just says where the route goes. New: a breathing exercise for the wait. A four-leaf clover opens as you breathe in and closes as you breathe out, and it stops a minute before your bus arrives. With vibration on, you can follow it with the phone in your pocket. If a habit has several routes, tap the one you are waiting for and the exercise times itself to that bus. Many more daily lines, now written out one character at a time. Outside your habits' times, the home screen shows a reworked classical saying in large type, with your habits beneath it, one tap from their arrivals. ### 1.2 — 2026-09-19 The whole app has been repainted: warm paper, a sky that changes with the time of day, and a few trees that move in the wind. The old dark scheme is still there — pick it in Settings. MTR exits are on the map. All 97 stations and 719 exits, written on the map as labels rather than pinned to it, appearing as you get close and collapsing to a station name when you are not. The data comes from the Lands Department. Stops now say whose they are: a cluster's ring is divided by the KMB, Citybus and minibus stops inside it. All three filters can be switched off. Your own dot keeps up. It used to sit still through seven seconds of walking. The habit list is made of large items, each with its own colour, so one is recognisable before it is read. The day now turns at 09:00 and 18:00 rather than 08:00 and 16:00. To anyone who finishes work at six, four in the afternoon is not the evening. ### 1.1 — 2026-09-10 Search by place, not just by route number. Type a destination and you get the buses and MTR lines that serve it. Green minibuses are not searchable this way — their route feed carries no origin or destination. The lookup tab remembers your last 10 routes. One tap goes straight to arrival times. Add several routes in one pass. Picking one returns you to the same results, so the 806A next to the 806 is one tap away instead of a retyped number. Add routes while creating a habit, instead of saving it and going back in. The off-hours screen is no longer blank: it carries a bent classical aphorism, changing every ten seconds, or on a tap. ### 1.0 — 2026-09-05 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Bus Habits | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [KongBus](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kongbus/id6806623974) | — | Free | Navigation | | [HK巴士路線助手](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hk/id6763286471) | — | Free | Navigation | | [Departly: HK, Macau, Singapore](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/departly-hk-macau-singapore/id6780520462) | — | Free | Navigation | | [車到未 - 香港巴士到站時間 小巴](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6799151521) | — | Free | Navigation | | [HK Bus ETA: Live Times & Maps](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hk-bus-eta-live-times-and-maps/id6812796977) | — | Free | Navigation | | [Shade On You](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shade-on-you/id6806687246) | — | Free | Navigation | ## More apps by ka wai choi - [我們日記 - 情侶手帳月曆](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6800248148) - [待辦 To Do - Simple List](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/to-do-simple-list/id6800417782) - [症狀日誌 - 痛症失眠追蹤](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6801191980) - [Noise Diary - Decibel Meter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/noise-diary-decibel-meter/id6806733265) All apps by ka wai choi: https://appshunter.io/developer/6800248150 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
