## What is Bus Roma?

Get around Rome with all the information you need about buses, trams, and public transport in one app.

Bus Roma lets you quickly find nearby stops, check upcoming arrivals, browse routes and lines, and plan your journey to your destination. Real-time arrivals are clearly distinguished from scheduled times.
All the information remains easy to access, with no full-screen ads interrupting your navigation.

KEY FEATURES
• Find the stops closest to your location
• Search for a stop by name, number, or address
• Check upcoming arrivals and route timetables
• Distinguish real-time arrivals from scheduled times
• Check departures for a specific date and time
• Save, reorder, and manage your favorite stops
• View service alerts for routes serving a stop
• Quickly search for buses, trams, and other public transport routes in Rome  

ROUTES, STOPS, AND VEHICLES ON THE MAP
Select a route to view all its stops, direction, and operating days. Follow the entire journey on the map and see vehicle locations whenever this information is available.

While traveling, you can activate “Announce Stops.” Bus Roma follows your progress along the route and announces the next stop aloud, even while you are using other apps.
The next stop is also displayed through Live Activities and, on compatible devices, in the Dynamic Island.

PLAN YOUR JOURNEY
Enter your starting point and destination, or use your current location. Bus Roma calculates the available travel options and shows:
• Routes to take
• Boarding and exit stops
• Any required transfers
• Walking sections
• Estimated journey time
• The complete journey on the map
• Options to leave now, depart at a specific time, or arrive by a selected time  

SIRI AND SHORTCUTS
Ask Siri for upcoming arrivals at a stop or create shortcuts to quickly access the information you check most often.

Bus Roma is designed to make everyday travel on Rome’s public transport network easier, whether you regularly use the same stops or need to reach a new destination.

LOCATION INFORMATION
Location access while using the app allows Bus Roma to find nearby stops and sort them by distance. To track your journey, announce stops in the background, and automatically update the next stop, you must allow location access even when the app is not in use.

The availability of real-time arrivals, service alerts, and vehicle locations depends on the data provided by public transport services.

### 1/5 — App is not helpful.

*2026-06-26*

Finding bus stops that a truly wheelchair accessible is a joke. This is the worst city we have ever visited for public transit.

### 5/5 — Vacances à Rome

*2026-05-22*

Nous sommes français. Très utile cette application pour se déplacer dans Rome

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2025-12-16, version 2.3*

Provate a collegarvi

### 3/5 — Bus App Review

*2025-11-19*

App is pretty mediocre compared to other bus apps in Italy that allow you to simply purchase tickets and with a better ui for route planning. Cant trust the tap to pay feature on a lot of the buses, seems to work about half the time and the police control frequently. Have fun trying to get your card to read properly. Definitely an EU flagship city with seamless technological integration.

### 2/5 — Useful but cumbersome

*2025-10-15*

This is good to have addition to other mapping apps, which can help you find bus stops and routes. This apps interface is really slow and cumbersome and pouring worked out, once you have the roots from another mapping app, Roma bus can help, but by itself, it’s very frustrating. It’s amazing that it’s been at least three years since I got this and they haven’t improved it at all in that time.

### 5/5 — Affidabile

*2025-10-02, version 2.3*

Utilizzo quest’app da diverso tempo e la trovo utile. Mi sposto parecchio con i mezzi ed i rari casi di informazioni errate non credo proprio dipendano dall’app, piuttosto dal fatto che, ahimè, non siamo in Svizzera.

### 1/5 — No map

*2025-09-17*

a bus app with no system map or option to see what bus stops are within walking distance of your location? Worse than paper.

### 1/5 — Orari

*2025-07-29, version 2.3*

L’applicazione non è precisa per orari arrivo dei bus, si aggiornano in continuazione con orari di attesa che variano anche di diversi minuti, sia in aumento che in diminuzione

### 2/5 — Inutile

*2025-06-12, version 2.3*

Orari mai rispettati saltano corse e non sai se hai perso l’autobus o se hai sbagliato fermata

### 5/5 — Funziona ed e’ preciso

*2025-05-28, version 2.3*

Finalmente una app che funziona con precisione sui bus Roma! Sono molto soddisfatta
