Next Bus Barcelona

Next Bus Barcelona shows what is actually leaving from the stops around you, right now. One list, every operator: metro, bus, tram, FGC, Rodalies and the night buses, merged together and sorted the way you need them. No routing, no accounts, no ads — just the departures. EVERY OPERATOR IN ONE BOARD TMB metro and bus, TRAM, FGC, Rodalies and AMB, including all 24 Nitbus lines. Each direction of a stop is kept separate, because standing on the wrong side of the road is the whole problem. LIVE WHERE LIVE EXISTS Rows backed by a real-time feed are marked as such. The rest come from the published timetable, and the app tells you which is which rather than pretending everything is live. ANYWHERE, NOT JUST HERE Centre the board on a map point, a search result, a favourite or a transport hub — so you can check the tram before you leave the house. OR SEE IT ON A MAP Switch the board to a map and every stop around you becomes a pin, coloured by its mode. Tap one for its departures, or pan somewhere else and search there. SET HOW FAR YOU WILL WALK 100 m, 250 m, 500 m, 1 km or 2 km, with the nearest stops first. TRACK ONE DEPARTURE Pick the one you are catching and the app tells you two minutes before it goes. CATALÀ, CASTELLANO, ENGLISH Switched inside the app, independently of your phone's language. WORKS WITH LOCATION DENIED The app asks for location once. Say no and it still works — choose a place and the board follows that instead. No account, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking. Your position is sent to the app's own server to build the board, and nowhere else.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Next Bus Barcelona at every 6 days against Mou's every 5 weeks. Mou's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
