What to expect
Live
- Bus arrivals refresh about every 20 seconds. If the information is more than about a minute old, the app marks it as out of date.
Scheduled
- Route times. The times on route options are scheduled times. They can differ from the next live bus by several minutes.
- Trains. MRT times are scheduled, not live.
- Live or scheduled. A bus is shown as live only when it reports its position to LTA. Live bus arrival times come from LTA at stops. Journey times and MRT times use schedules.
- Train alerts. A live journey can show LTA train service alerts. They may not show every disruption.
- Routes. Each search returns at most three options for each way of travelling, and may miss a service. Walking follows the road network, so a path through a building or park may not be shown. Public holidays are not taken into account.
- Fares. Fares are estimates from OneMap and may differ from what you are charged.
- Internet needed. The app does not work offline. When something cannot load, it tells you rather than showing made-up numbers.
- Singapore only.
Please check before you rely on it
