If you're travelling with others, select how many people are travelling and we can tell you what tickets you'll need.

Track your journey on our live bus map

Tapping on a service will show you the route and stop times. You can use this feature when you're on the bus to check your expected arrival time and when your stop is coming up.

Check for quieter bus times

Our app has a simple coloured traffic light indicator on the buses within our live map. The view shows how busy your bus service could be. This indicator should be used as a guide and is based on estimated number of passengers for the time of day.
