AllBusApp: Know When Your Bus Is Coming Open the app and see the next buses at the stops around you, right away. No searching, no guessing. AllBusApp works with TheBus and Skyline on Oahu, Maui Bus, and Kauai Bus. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.0 A complete redesign, built around one question: when is my bus? - Nearby: live departures at the stops around you, on the first screen - Follow your bus on the map along its actual route - Arrival alerts: get a notification 2 to 5 minutes before your bus arrives - Route view: every stop on the line, the buses on the road right now, and your stop highlighted - Timetables for any day of the next two weeks - Late buses stay listed as "Due" instead of disappearing - Full Dark Mode and a cleaner, quieter look NEARBY The stops around you and the next buses at each one, with how far the walk is. Live buses show a green dot. Scheduled ones show a clock. Your saved stops sit at the top when you are near them. LIVE TRACKING Tap any bus to see where it is right now, moving along its route toward your stop, with a countdown and the arrival time. Live GPS is available for TheBus on Oahu. Maui Bus and Kauai Bus show schedule times. ARRIVAL ALERTS Not standing at the stop yet? Ask for an alert and your phone will tell you when the bus is a few minutes out. Choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 minutes in Settings to match your walk. ROUTES Tap any route number to see the whole line: every stop in order, which buses are on the road and whether they are on time, and your nearest stop with its countdown. Switch direction with one tap. STOPS Every stop has its own page: upcoming departures you can filter by route, a map of the buses heading your way, the last bus of the night marked, the full timetable, and Look Around street imagery so you know exactly where to wait. SAVED Star the stops and routes you use every day. The Saved tab shows your stops with their next buses at a glance, so your commute is one tap away. SEARCH Find any stop by name or by the number on the sign, or any route by number or name. THREE ISLANDS Oahu, Maui and Kauai. The app picks your island from your location, or you can choose one in Settings to plan ahead. MADE FOR EVERYONE Works with VoiceOver, larger text sizes, Reduce Motion and Dark Mode. Big, easy-to-read countdowns and tap targets sized for real fingers. Ads keep AllBusApp free. A one-time purchase removes them for good. Whether you ride every day or you are visiting for a week, AllBusApp gets you on the right bus without the stress.
