Simple. Built by local commuters, for local commuters. Seattle Buses helps you see where your bus is before you head to the stop. Follow live buses, compare your usual routes, and check estimated arrivals so you can time your trip with less guesswork. Don't just miss the bus that's coming around the corner. See what's approaching and whether another bus is close behind. If a bus pulls up busy, check where the next one is before deciding whether to wait. Seattle Buses shows bus locations and estimated arrivals, not passenger crowding levels.
