## What is Bus Times?

Ever been stood at a Bus Stop wondering when the next bus is? Or sat at home / in the pub wondering if you need to set off yet? There are a couple of way to do this if you are in Yorkshire, but none are specifically aimed at the iPhone.

1.Text the 8 digit bus stop number to 63876 (A text message is charged at your standard outbound rate plus a maximum of 12p for the returned text.) 

2.Use the "YourNextBus Service" at  http://www.wymetro.com/yournextbus/search/ in Mobile Safari (What a hassle to navigate and remember all your stop numbers)

Now you can have a dedicated app which will store your favourite Bus Stop numbers and present the results in an iPhone / iPad friendly format. With lots of useful features some of which are not available on the web …

• Where available get the REAL arrival time of the busses, not timetabled times, but the actual time the bus is due at your chosen stop via the GPS tracker on the bus.
• Check future arrival times by using the +1hr/-1hr buttons to move an hour or more along the schedules. 
• Store a list of "Favourite Stops" and organise them in Alphabetical order or simply order / rename them as you like.
• Busses with a Live Feed will have their times highlighted in green and show how many minutes until they are due.
• Busses with a Low Floor access for pushchairs and prams are indicated by a blue wheelchair icon on the end of the result.
• You can tap on results to be alerted at your specified number of minutes before the bus is due, so you know when to set off.
• Set an Auto-Refresh time to regularly reload the timetable data (Double Tap at the top of the timetable to enable).
• The app will offer to fall back to SMS if you don't have a Data Connection on your phone.
• Optional Shake to refresh and pull down on the results to refresh times.
• Search for Busses / Stops by Postcode, Bus Number, or search for other bus stops near your current stop.
• Use your phone's GPS to show a map of all the bus stops around you. 
• Our app uses the "text-only" version of the YourNextBus page and doesn't download images etc, this makes its very quick and saves on your data usage.
• Large Text view for Sight Impaired users of iPads (enabled in the settings).

IMPORTANT - Before purchasing we suggest you use the West Yorkshire Public Transport site linked above to make sure you can see information on the busses and stops you require. We can only provide the same information, so if you cannot find relevant information on their websites, our app will not be able to magically provide it. 

We have thoroughly tested in Leeds, Wakefield, Sheffield, Harrogate, Doncaster, Scarborough and York but please ensure your area is covered before purchase.

Please don't shoot the messenger by leaving negative reviews regarding the actual Bus Times data we display, this is from the WYPTE website and we can only show the data they offer. If the times are wrong, or the bus doesn’t turn up, then the problem is with their data or services and not our wonderful app! :)


If you have any suggestions or in the unlikely event of a problem please contact us via the Icons on the Service Status tab (Email, Twitter, Facebook, WWW), and you will receive a swift personal reply to any comments you send us.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-28, version 2.8.2*

It has one job and does it well. I use it every time to time bus journeys to perfection.

### 4/5 — Simple is best

*2024-11-11, version 2.8.2*

When a much more expensive app with all the bells and whistles and fancy coloured graphics went through periods of not actually getting the bus times, I decided to download this. I was not disappointed, it’s a lesson in simple reliability. That’s certainly the case in my part of Yorkshire and where the times of multiple bus companies are needed. For regular use you’ll need to favourite the stops you use. These can be found via stop number or by a search on the map. That done, times at those stops are reliably there at a click whenever needed and with the ability to step forward hour by hour. You can edit stop names in your favourites list, thus allowing your own name preference or to add a stand-out keyboard emoji. There is also a route number search which finds just the main stops on routes and a service status page. Uncluttered and uncomplicated, it instantly tells you the times at stops and it works.

### 2/5 — Voiceover support

*2023-05-20, version 2.8.2*

I’m blind and using Voiceover. Can you add a list view button on the GPS search screen to make this screen accessible for VI users? Currently unable to hear stops around ne using the map. Also displaying bus times for next few hours by default would be very helpful. Plus and minus one hour buttons aren’t working for me. An ‘show all stops’ on search would be helpful. Currently only shows major stops for a route. Website has such a button, Thank you

### 5/5 — Not adding bus stop correctly for Darlington area.

*2023-03-07, version 2.8.2*

Despite I have this app from Yorkshire that it’s should add my new local area & why it not displaying the bus time to what it’s should be doing in Darlington area, but have there been a fault on the app?

### 5/5 — Best Bus Tracker Ever & Especially Made For South Yorkshire

*2023-02-26, version 2.8.2*

This Is The Best Bus Tracker App I’ve Ever Used.

Combines First South Yorkshire & Stagecoach Yorkshire + East Midlands Services Together & Is Bang On With The Timeings.

I Highly Recommended This App If Like Myself Having To Rely On Buses Within South Yorkshire Or West Yorkshire As The App Is Made Especially For The Two Regions, However I Live In Rotherham, South Yorkshire & Don’t Use In West Yorkshire.

### 1/5 — Unable to search

*2017-08-22, version 2.3.3*

This app seriously needs sorting out as I'm unable to search for bus services, my saved ones are ok but unable to search if i need a different service!!!

### 5/5 — Best app

*2017-03-12, version 2.3.1*

Thank you for making this up its the best App ever it help me with my day to day travelling on Yorkshire but thank you for making this app

### 1/5 — Price was not specified.

*2016-11-13, version 2.2.0*

I was charged 79p for downloading the app although the price was not on the download button. Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-05-29, version 2.0.3*

Does it exactly what it says. Up to date and accurate bus times simple and straightforward to use

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2016-04-20, version 2.0.3*

This app is accurate & useful, but as others have said, it needs to offer more than 1 hour of bus times to be perfect. I find it very useful to plan a local trip for the outward journey, but have to wait until I am ready to come home, to see if there is a bus. Would like to be able to plan the return trip in advance. The idea is great though.
