Whippet bus holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whippet bus has 13 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 11% of Whippet bus'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, Whippet bus every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
