Can you make it?

Three minutes walking. Bus in five. Move. Now.

Bus Watch compares walking times to your stop with when your bus is due. Too late for that one? It’ll tell you which bus you can catch instead. Be careful when running though. Seriously.

Set a reminder to get a nudge when it’s time to leave.

Proper Mess Ready

Because it's London, baby

Two buses of the same number arriving together? Bus Watch spots bunching and warns you about the likely gap afterwards.

Ghosting much? When a bus vanishes from the arrivals board, it notices that too.

Keep it in your trousers

Bus arrivals without getting your phone out.

Nearby stops and live arrivals on Apple Watch, no need to risk dropping your phone after a fun night out, at a size you can read at a glance.

Big night out? Big crowds in West End? Just look at your watch, it does the job.

The useful bits

Privacy. No tracking you around London.

Your location is used to find nearby stops. Those coordinates go to our own server to look them up and aren’t recorded there. There’s no account to create, nothing to sign into and no history of where you’ve been.

Fast and simple

Bus Watch just does one thing for you. It doesn't try to be a journey planner or an everything app.

Live from TfL

Arrival times come straight from Transport for London, the same feed the countdown signs at the stop are reading.
