## What is Whenbus?

Know when to walk or run. Whenbus shows live Singapore bus arrival times for the stop you're standing at - and any stop on the island - plus a countdown on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Built for Singapore commuters. Arrival times come straight from LTA DataMall, the same source that feeds the panels at the stop.

WHAT YOU GET

• Map of nearby stops - opens on where you are, with arrivals for stops in view
• Search by stop name, code, or road when you need a stop elsewhere
• Next three arrivals per service, with crowding, bus type, and wheelchair access
• Live Activity on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - watch buses at a stop without unlocking
• MRT and LRT connections as line-coloured plates on stop cards
• Routes sheet with the stop sequence for a service

LIVE UPDATES

Open a stop, tap Live, pick the buses you can take, and start a watch. Countdowns refresh over push while the app is closed. The watch ends on its own after the buses have gone. Swiping the banner away does not turn live updates off - manage them in the app.

FREE AND WHENBUS PRO

Whenbus is free to download and use. On the free tier you can watch up to 3 buses at a stop, and the free tier shows ads. Whenbus Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription that removes ads and unlocks watching up to 6 buses per stop. Live arrival times themselves stay available without paying.

Privacy: your location stays on your iPhone to sort nearby stops. There are no accounts and no login.

Requires an internet connection. During LTA DataMall maintenance, live times may be unavailable.

Not affiliated with LTA, SimplyGo, or any Singapore bus operator.

### 5/5 — ✨

*2024-10-30, version 1.2.12*

Without a doubt one of the best crafted transport app in SG. Great UI/UX.

If you could add a feature for current bus location, it will be the icing on the cake.

### 5/5 — Fast and easy to use

*2024-10-03, version 1.2.11*

I've been using it for a few months and find the thoughtful design is simple and easy to use for bus commuters like me 😊. The tap to watch with notifications to my Apple Watch to monitor bus arrival times is clever and well implemented. If there's one small request is a light theme lol Cheers, vinamelody

Lots of functionality locked behind subscription based paywall

### 5/5 — Most beautiful transport app ever

*2024-03-10, version 1.1.3*

Without exaggeration this app looks so cool and stylish. UX makes it so efficient to use. Privacy policy is impressive too, for Singapore app standards! Not perfect but almost there.

### 5/5 — Slickest bus arrival app I’ve seen

*2024-03-06, version 1.0.1*

One of the few Singapore apps that actually make use of the Dynamic Island! Tsk grab
