## What is DB Transport?

The fast, free way to catch your next bus or ferry in Discovery Bay.

Discovery Bay is car-free, so getting around means knowing exactly when the next shuttle, external bus or ferry leaves. DB Transport gives you live next-departure times and countdowns for every DB route, so you can see when to leave at a glance — and never sprint to the pier for a boat that has already gone.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

• Live countdowns — see the next departure and the minutes left for every bus and ferry, updated as times change.
• AI Mode — automatically surfaces only the routes that matter right now, based on the time of day and where you are, and hides the rest. One tap shows everything.
• Favourites — pin your regular routes to the top.
• Live Activities — follow your departure on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with a live progress bar, plus an optional "get off at" stop reminder.
• Home Screen widgets — your next departures, always in view.
• Siri Shortcuts & Spotlight — ask Siri or search to jump straight to a route.
• Search anything — find any route, stop or destination in seconds.

EVERY DB ROUTE, COVERED

• Internal village buses: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 15, 18, C4, C9, plus night buses
• External buses to Tung Chung, the Airport and Sunny Bay: DB01R/A, DB02, DB03 and the DB08 overnight
• The Golf Club bus
• All ferries: DB ↔ Central, DB North ↔ Central, Mui Wo and Peng Chau

BUILT TO JUST WORK

• Works offline and opens instantly
• Available in 30+ languages, including English, 繁體中文 and 简体中文

FREE, PRIVATE, COMMUNITY-MADE

100% free. No ads. No account. No tracking. There's an optional tip jar in Settings if you'd like to support the project, but everything is yours to use for free.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-08-14

A brand-new app icon.

• The app icon has been redrawn. On iOS 26 it is built with Liquid Glass, so it now responds properly to the Dark and Tinted home screen styles.
• Ferries no longer send a "your stop is next" alert. There is only one stop out on the water, so the reminder was never useful.
