### 2/5 — Bus Location Inaccurate

*2026-07-14, version 3.4.0*

I was on my way to the bus stop and I always check the bus timing and location beforehand to ensure my journey is smooth and doesn't require me to stop and wait. The bus managed to drive past my stop and when it did, I was on the app, and it stated that the bus was still at the previous stop. Not only this happened, this morning on this very same day, the app stated it was arriving, so I was getting my card ready to board. But all of a sudden, the arriving suddenly became 22 minutes, and I have been at this bus stop for half an hour.

### 4/5 — Review about Singabus

*2026-04-11, version 3.3.2*

The Singabus app bus timing + MRT is usually accurate but sometimes not.That is why I chose 3/5

### 3/5 — 50% accuracy

*2025-11-14, version 3.3.2*

50% of the time it comes as it says, the other 50% its completely off. For example, when it states 5-6mins, the total time it takes can be over 10 mins. Every minute in the app isn’t the same as real time.  It also detects buses that don’t exist. Stating that a bus is coming in x minutes, but as you update, it disappears and gets updated with the next long time bus timing instead. Also instances where a bus goes undetected and appears. My experience using this app for a few months.

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2025-10-23, version 3.3.2*

It’s good if you can develop a widget.

### 4/5 — Singabus

*2025-06-25, version 3.3.2*

Easy to use, can easily find bus stops and buses. Timing is quite accurate but not really on time. Bus stop name is shown for easy reference. I like that you can put hearts on those bus stops that you use frequently. Overall this app is easy to use and good! ♡

### 3/5 — bus timing inaccurate

*2025-03-07, version 3.3.2*

app sometimes says the bus is arriving in >20 minutes but the bus arrives 5 minutes later. 
Timing also stays at “arriving in 3 mins” for more than 3 without changing. i keep getting heart attack when i see the bus timing. please fix

adding on: i keep getting stuck in a place even though im pressing the arrow button to go to my location. it doesnt change even after i closed the app and reopened it.

### 3/5 — Feature request - add an alert for the bus reaching my bus stop timer, and to hide bus services

*2024-12-01, version 3.3.2*

If there is an alert that the bus is arriving at my stop in 1-2 mins that’ll be great. Another request is to be able to hide bus services for a bus stop because I only take these few buses at this bus stop and don’t have to remember which bus to take. Then your app will be perfect.

### 1/5 — Timing always not accurate at peak hours

*2024-11-08, version 3.3.2*

Always shows got bus come in few minutes！ But actually not! Sometimes even skip 2-3 bus, have to wait for 20-30minutes!

### 1/5 — can not use

*2024-09-27*

...

### 1/5 — 煩

*2024-09-05, version 3.3.1*

等公車超久，司機開太慢，拖到時間

### 1/5 — This app deteriorated so bad

*2024-08-21, version 3.3.1*

How is it so inaccurate all of a sudden? There have been so many times where it said the bus has not arrived, due to which I ran up from the mrt station, but turned out that the bus left already (the app still said the bus was coming). It used to be very accurate in the past, but it's recently become a nuisance

### 1/5 — Unreliable Bus Timing

*2024-08-09, version 3.3.1*

Bus timing is almost always wrong. I end up waiting really long for a bus beyond just 1-2minutes, sometimes additional 10minutes. These incidents have caused me to need to take taxis, change plans or be late for important events. 
At times, the app will over estimate the bus arrival time. Like today it estimated a bus to arrive in 35minutes. I could not afford to wait 35minutes so I took a taxi. Just as my taxi arrived, the bus arrived! 
Every single day the bus timings are never accurate.

### 1/5 — Unreliable bus timings

*2025-11-18, version 3.3.2*

For those who commute to work/schl using bus should understand. 

Nothing frustrates me more than having to realise that the bus timing says 3 minutes but then arrives earlier than it, resulting me in missing this bus and end up catching the other one 20 minutes later.

Even worse, when waiting, bus timing is very bipolar, timing keeps changing. From 7 minutes to 8 minutes, and finally decides to keep at 7 minutes for the next 10 minutes. Stop playing mind games with us commuters, it’s really not funny.  It’s even more frustrating having kids with irresponsible parents letting them run around

Update: the app simply is getting more and more inaccurate, I’ve been late consecutively despite waking up on time thanks to it, don’t trust this rip off app, whoever created it simply wants people to be late and Mia’s their schedule, what intentions!

### 1/5 — Unreliable bus arrival times

*2025-07-04, version 3.3.2*

All Singapore buses are GPS equipped.  Bus locations are reconfirmed at every busstop. Despite having all this data available, there are no reliable bus arrival projections available.  Arrival times wildly jump up and down. This has been ongoing for years. I understand this app is not responsible for generating the bus arrival information but redistributes what it gets from another source. It’s like garbage in garbage out. So what are you doing about it.

### 1/5 — not precise bus timing

*2025-05-10, version 3.3.2*

bus took too long

### 1/5 — Bus time not reliable

*2025-04-16, version 3.3.2*

There are bus arrived but not appeared in the app

### 1/5 — NEVER ACCURATE

*2025-03-03*

预估的时间从来都不准。。

### 1/5 — It is accurate, but many times inaccurate bus timings that makes you upset

*2025-02-24, version 3.3.2*

It was a good app previously, but when this happened, I don’t wanted to use this app. I’m using this app for 1-2 years, but the bus timings is always inaccurate. I saw other people’s reviews, and some of them I agreed (even though 1 star). Today, there was 2 buses and the other 1 bus coming in same time, which I needed to board that one to go to school. I ran but those buses didn’t wait for me, and the app showed me that it’s both buses arriving in 11-14 minutes. I was late for school. But when before the bus arrived, I realised that I was waiting for over 15 minutes. Please fix this, for everyone using this app. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Outrageous Inaccuracy: This Useless Bus Timing App Needs to Be Fixed!

*2025-02-22, version 3.3.2*

Outrageous Inaccuracy: This Useless Bus Timing App Needs to Be Fixed!

This bus timing app is absolutely terrible—completely unreliable and inaccurate! The timings keep jumping unpredictably, especially for Bus 39. One moment it says 16 minutes, then suddenly drops to 10 minutes, or even worse, it jumps by huge gaps, not just one or two minutes but several minutes apart! This happens all the time! What kind of useless system is this? If the app can’t provide accurate timings, what’s the point of having it? Stop wasting commuters’ time with such a lousy, broken system. Fix it immediately!😡😡👎👎

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2024-12-06, version 3.3.2*

Always down and keep asking to update, I just want to check the bus timing then keep telling me to update if not don’t show me the timing. Wl

### 1/5 — 体验很差

*2024-12-02*

时间非常不准 坑了我很多次

### 1/5 — Inaccurate timings

*2024-11-28, version 3.3.2*

I don’t use the app often at all because of how inaccurate these type of apps have been in my experience. This app is actually no different because literally the one time I decide to use it, the bus arrival times spontaneously change drastically. Today, 10 minutes was suddenly added to the bus arrival time, after I walked several blocks to this bus stop instead of walking the opposite direction to the train station like I always do. Ironic that people will become late instead due to this app. Completely defeats the purpose of using the app since some of us use this to decide our commute route and save times. Apps like this need to be dependable to be useful. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Best bus app

*2026-08-02, version 3.4.0*

Favourite bus app and have been using it religiously for a few years. Developers may wish to add an additional feature to notify users when bus is arriving so can keep a look out when the bus is approaching.

### 5/5 — Updates

*2026-01-06, version 3.3.2*

I have been enjoying the app. Always gives accurate bus arrival time. But It has been a while that the app is not updated. There is a new bus that ply by my place and it’s not included in the app. Pls update. Thank you

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-10-16, version 3.3.2*

have been using this app for almost a year,its pretty accurate and good especially when you don’t know specifically the name of your bus stop as it has the location to pinpoint where your at,as compared to simplygo.

### 5/5 — Reliable, fast and good interface

*2025-04-16, version 3.3.2*

A reliable app with accurate timing. Easy to use with no bugs and even ads are not intrusive and small. Have been using for years and it’s snappy and I like the colour indicating whether the bus is crowded.

### 5/5 — Please integrate it with iPhone’s Dynamic Island

*2025-02-27, version 3.3.2*

It’s inconvenient to constantly check the timing. It would be great if it could be integrated with Dynamic Island, allowing us to select the bus we want to take and see a countdown timer. This feature is similar to how Grab shows car arrival times.

### 5/5 — 🫶🏻

*2025-02-08, version 3.3.2*

I've been using BusApp for a few months now, and it has significantly improved my daily commute. The real-time bus tracking feature is incredibly accurate, allowing me to plan my trips with ease and avoid long waits at the bus stop. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through different routes and schedules. I also appreciate the notifications for service disruptions, which help me adjust my plans accordingly.

However, I believe BusApp could be even more valuable by incorporating train planning into its features. Many commuters, like myself, rely on both buses and trains to reach our destinations. Integrating train schedules and routes would provide a comprehensive public transportation solution, making it a one-stop app for all our commuting needs. This addition would streamline the travel planning process and enhance the overall user experience.

Overall, BusApp is a reliable and user-friendly application that has made my bus journeys more predictable and stress-free. With the addition of train planning, it could become an indispensable tool for all public transit users.

### 5/5 — SO GUD

*2025-01-03, version 3.3.2*

this is probably the most accurate bus app I’ve ever downloaded ( and I’ve downloaded a lot of bus apps ) it immediately  updates when a new bus is coming and it’s helps me so so much. Since I take the bus to school everyday, it really helps me when the bus app is actually accurate so I know when to leave my house and stuff. definitely download this app

### 5/5 — 分かりバス

*2024-06-27, version 3.3.0*

分かりやすくてこのアプリは好きです

### 5/5 — Cannot update the app.

*2024-05-23, version 3.3.0*

Failing to download new bus routes. App crashes when retrying to download.

### 5/5 — Great infrastructure

*2024-03-26, version 3.3.0*

I am so proud of our greatly simplified bus and train services around the whole country and still improving. It makes traveling around so convenient and in expensive for us the pioneer generation. Kudos to all involve for this great achievement. 👍🙏❤️
