We started Bus Times in 2011, before TfL released its public real-time bus feed. The original goal was simple: stop standing in the rain wondering whether the bus is coming or whether you should give up and walk.

Fifteen years later, the question is the same — we’ve just gotten much better at answering it. Bus Times covers every stop in London, every operator across the UK, and works whether you’re on the latest iPhone or a battered Android handset on 3G.

We’re a small independent team. Bus Times is free to use and pays for itself through advertising and data partnerships, with an optional ad-free subscription for those who want it. The commute should be free.
