Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: myTrip by Passenger at 4.6 against MyBusTrip's 1.0. myTrip by Passenger also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). MyBusTrip's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
myTrip by Passenger holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myTrip by Passenger has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of MyBusTrip's written reviews are positive against 20% of myTrip by Passenger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyBusTrip ships an update every 5 months, myTrip by Passenger fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
