BusPulse Vancouver vs MapHopper

BusPulse is the fastest way to catch your bus across Metro Vancouver — live, GPS-tracked arrivals and real-time bus positions on the map. No account. No sign-up. Open the app and see what's coming. LIVE, GPS-TRACKED ARRIVALS Every countdown ticks live to the second and turns red when your bus is due. When a route isn't transmitting yet — early mornings, peak-only expresses — BusPulse shows the scheduled timetable instead, so you're never left staring at an empty screen. NEARBY MAP See live positions for buses on the map. Zoom in to reveal stop markers. Filter by route type — Bus, B-Line, RapidBus, or Night Bus — with one tap. ROUTE ON THE MAP Tap any bus to highlight its full route and follow it live with a bright tracking beacon. See exactly where your bus is and where it's headed. WALK TIME VS. NEXT BUS Open any stop to instantly see your walk time compared to the next arrival. Know in seconds whether to walk or run. SMART STOP SEARCH Search by the 5-digit stop number posted on every sign, by stop name, or by route number. Covers all 8,700+ stops across Metro Vancouver. DEPARTURE ALERTS Tap the bell on any arrival to get a notification before your bus arrives — choose 2, 5, or 10 minutes' warning. Works even with the app closed. FAVOURITES Star your regular stops. Favourite stops show live arrivals at a glance without tapping in. SERVICE ALERTS Active TransLink service disruptions appear with a badge on the Alerts tab so you never miss a delay or detour. COVERAGE BusPulse works across Metro Vancouver on the TransLink network. It does not cover Vancouver Island (Victoria, Nanaimo, Tofino/Ucluelet) or the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford, Chilliwack), which are served by BC Transit. Powered by TransLink's official GTFS real-time feed. Arrivals update every 60 seconds.

Someone sends you a map link. It opens in an app you don't use, don't have, or don't want. MapHopper fixes that in one tap. Paste, share, or copy a link from any of these — Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Yandex Maps, 2GIS, KakaoMap, Amap (Gaode), Baidu Maps, or Naver Map — and MapHopper reads the location and hands it straight to whichever map app you actually want to use. No accounts. No sign-in. No servers storing your links or your locations. Everything happens on your device, and nothing about where you've been is ever kept or sent anywhere. HOW IT WORKS • Share a map link into MapHopper from any app, or paste one directly • MapHopper detects the provider and reads the destination • Pick the map app you want to open it in — done WHY IT MATTERS Different countries and regions default to different map apps. A link from a friend in Seoul might be a KakaoMap link. One from Moscow might be Yandex. One from Beijing might be Amap or Baidu. If you don't have that specific app installed — or just prefer a different one — the link is useless on its own. MapHopper bridges that gap.
