OneBusAway

Real-Time Public Transit Information

OneBusAway helps bus and train passengers check nearby stops, view upcoming arrivals, and plan journeys using live transit information where supported. It is designed for regular public transport users who want quick access to departure details instead of relying only on printed or static schedules. Coverage depends on participating transit agencies and regions, including areas such as Seattle and Washington, D.C.

Useful Tools for Regular Routes

The app can show nearby transit stops and provide arrival and departure information from agency feeds. Frequently used stops and routes can be saved for faster access, while home-screen shortcuts make it easier to reach important transit details with fewer taps. Trip reminders are also available for users who follow the same journeys regularly.

Community-Supported Transit Data

OneBusAway is an open-source project supported by a community around public transportation information. Users can report problems such as incorrect arrival details or app issues, creating a feedback channel that can help identify data and service discrepancies. Its interface focuses on practical information and navigation rather than extra social or entertainment features.

Who It Suits

OneBusAway is a good fit for commuters, students, and other riders who frequently use supported bus or rail networks. Its usefulness is closely tied to local coverage, so it may offer limited value in areas without participating agencies. The app has a 4.18/5 rating from 10,167 reviews and has reached 1,000,000+ installs. It is listed in Maps & Navigation and developed by OneBusAway.
