Finding stops, search, and favourites

Nearest
Shows your closest bus stops and train/tube stations, the direction they head, and the bus numbers. Location services must be enabled.
Tap a stop to see the buses that use it and the minutes until each is due. Tap a bus number to see its registration, a map of the route, and the time to each stop along it.
From a stop you can:
Favourite it (star button)
Plan a journey to it from your location (arrow button)
Open Google Street View (person icon)
Open settings (cog) to switch between combined or individual bus times
Filter to all buses or a single route
The bottom of the screen has full timetables — tap a bus number to open its timetable. You can also tap Tell TfL to send feedback to TfL.
Favourites
Any stop you star appears in Favourites. An outlined star means it's not saved; a filled star means it is. Tap the star again to remove it.
Recent
Shows stops you've used recently with the date and time. Tap the arrow on the right to jump back to a live-times view of that stop.
