Ever stood at a bus stop with no idea when the next bus will come? BusTable puts every bus stop in Korea on a map, shows real-time arrivals where they are available, and fills in the gaps with something wonderfully simple: photos of the paper timetables posted at the stops themselves, shared by riders like you. From city express buses to once-a-day village routes, it is all in one app. KEY FEATURES - Nationwide stop map Pan the map and nearby bus stops appear instantly. Find stops around your current location, your hometown, or your next travel destination. - Real-time arrivals Tap a stop to see which buses are coming, how many minutes and stops away they are, and the full route details. - Paper timetable photos At stops without real-time data, snap a photo of the printed timetable on the pole and share it. The next person waiting there will thank you. This is where BusTable shines: rural stops, village buses, and quiet outskirts the big apps forget. - Community-verified accuracy Shared timetable photos are rated with likes and dislikes, so outdated or incorrect timetables sink and trustworthy ones rise to the top. - Comment reports Riders leave local tips like "this schedule changed last month" or "no service on weekends" right on each stop. - Contribution points and ranks Earn points and level up every time you upload a photo, rate a timetable, or leave a report. Your contribution becomes someone else's ride home. - Start without an account Browse the map and arrival info freely as a guest. Sign in only when you want to share photos or rate timetables. PERFECT FOR - Riders who depend on rural or suburban stops without real-time displays - Anyone catching a village bus that only runs a few times a day - Families who worry about elderly parents taking the bus back home - Travelers exploring unfamiliar regions by public transit - Neighbors who want to build better local transit info together DATA SOURCES Real-time arrivals, stop and route data come from the TAGO public transit API by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea and the Seoul Metropolitan Government open data API. Paper timetable photos and comments are contributed by users. Due to the nature of public and user-contributed data, information may differ from actual operations and accuracy is not guaranteed. Please double-check before time-critical trips. CONTACT Questions or suggestions? We would love to hear from you. Contact: siwooeo@gmail.com BusTable currently covers bus stops in South Korea.

GotDochack is an app that combines real-time subway information with timetable data to provide clear and organized train arrival information. When a train is running late, you can also see how long it has been delayed compared with the scheduled time. GotDochack supports urban rail systems operated by major local governments across South Korea. Real-time information is currently available only in the Seoul metropolitan area. Real-time data is not supported for the Incheon Subway, Yongin EverLine, Uijeongbu Light Rail, or Gimpo Goldline. Key Features • Arriving Soon View upcoming trains for your selected station, organized by direction. The app also displays express services, last trains, data refresh status, and estimated time remaining until arrival. • Train Operations See the locations of trains currently operating across the entire line, along with their estimated arrival times at your selected station. • Station Timetables Check weekday, Saturday, and holiday timetables, as well as train destinations, express services, and last-train information. You can also quickly find trains scheduled closest to the current time. For lines that do not support real-time information, or when the network connection is unavailable, GotDochack provides arrival information based on downloaded timetable data. In these cases, the displayed arrival information may not match actual train operations. Use GotDochack and never miss your train again. Notice: GotDochack receives real-time API data from local governments and combines it with public timetable data to provide train arrival information. Arrival information may be inaccurate. Please pay attention to the official train operation information displayed inside the station.
