If you’re tired of staring at boring text lists of bus timings that don’t really help you visualize your route, this app is for you. We’ve designed a clean, fluid map that provides the information you need. Our application is powered by LTA DataMall API. Created by user, for users. Get real-time bus arrivals and see the actual location of buses moving live on the map. The service route fully visualized on the map. and you can tap on any service to see its entire route, so you never have to guess where a bus is actually heading. Subtle visual cues right into the interface—for example, a slightly transparent arrival timing instantly lets you know that the bus hasn't left the interchange yet. Zoom out to hide the noise, and zoom in to reveal individual bus stops, color-coded MRT lines, and multi-colored interchange stations. Searching for bus services now presents the results that mimics the old destination signages of yesteryear transport before electronic displays were the norm. This visuals helps with greater clarity on the direction of the service and selecting on the service number brings up the fleet radar to see all the live buses on the service map. The "Kiasu" MRT Transfer Guide: Where every minute matters, you get off the train to transfer, only to realize the escalator is at the complete opposite end of the platform. Using community-sourced data (massive thanks to the r/singapore community), the app tells you exactly which train doors to stand at for the fastest, shortest transfers at every single interchange. For the drivers, switch over to driver mode to check live HDB and LTA carpark availability before you reach your destination, so you aren't stuck circling for lots. If you drive an electric vehicle, the app plots EV charging stations across the region. We’ve even color-coded the chargers on the map based on pricing, allowing you to instantly spot the most cost-effective stations at a single glance! Our data also expands to show the list of Beverage Container Recycling Scheme (BCRS) machines around you, integrating it into your daily commute to recycle right. Data retrieved from the BCRS endpoint and subject to changes. Customisable Glanceable Widgets & Live Activities: When you’re rushing to the bus stop, you don't want to keep unlocking your phone. Start a Live Activity to pin your bus countdown directly to your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. You can also set up highly customizable Home Screen widgets for the bus stops you use every single day.
