Mostly correct timings but when its wrong, there’s a big gap
Mostly correct timings but a few times a month, timings are off and buses come 10-15 mins later which mess up the travel schedule and makes me late

About bus 52 specifically
Inaccurate timing, showed 3mins in the app but bus only arrived 21minutes later. And 52 literally comes like once eve try 15mins and takes FOREVER to drive(20mins for 7stops)
2020-03-10
No estimate available
Pls check
2019-02-24
Shameful
Facked up app that shouldn’t even exist. Bus timings are never updated.
2018-10-22
Bus arrival timing not showing clearly
The arrival timing of buses are not showing accurately. Need improvement asap
2018-06-07
Can be improve
No longer to click on red dots (on map)to see bus timing.
2017-12-28
So far do good!
Two suggestions:-
1. Give us the option to save or not to save the bus stop. Sometimes it just one off query.
2. Allow us the rename the bus stop name under the favourites.
For those complaining timing inaccurate, suggest you also cross check with another apps at the same time. Then you can verify whether is the apps issues or the source data issue.
2017-09-12
Bus 176 is the Rockstar!
When the App says 1 min, it means 10 more minutes. When it says arriving, it means 176 has just arrived and you just missed it 10 minutes ago.
2017-09-06
Timing
Timing of arriving is functioning. Neither it is accurate.
2017-02-25
Id give it a ZERO. BOGUS APP
the timings are so off i reckon its a bogus app.i would have given it a zero but one is the lowest i could rate.
2016-10-21
Dont complaint lah, so many good options out there
Switched to Nestia app recently, so much better and no ads at all
2016-10-03
loser app, are you out to kill people?
hi, may I know is this even legit? your freaking bus timing are out to kill I swear. the bus shows 3min, and then 5min later, it shows 1min, then 10min later, it shows 6min. I waited at the bus stop for half an hour and see no bus at all. can your app have the freaking courtesy to NOT PUT FALSE TIMING. if I knew I am going to wait half an hour for a bus, I would had taken the train instead. thanks to your wonderful failed app.
2016-08-19
Used to be accurate but has been failing lately
Showed that a bus was coming in 31mins but it came 5mins after.
Then it showed that a bus was coming in 3mins yet the bus came 20mins later.
It used to be accurate so I trusted the app yet it's been failing lately and causing me to be late
2016-08-02
Recently estimate time so bad
Showing bus ard 8 to 10min comes but the bus come on 2min after
2016-07-11
App还是不错的

Accurate timing
Love the app!!! User-friendly and accurate in bus arrival timing!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2016-06-29
Stupid app made me miss last bus
Inaccurate. Made me miss my last bus and lied that there were 2 more buses arriving. Was taking bus 502
2016-05-31
90% accurate
Okay to use
2016-05-31
Very good, just needs touch-ups
The recent handover of bus services to Tower Transit has to be noted, otherwise it may cause confusion... So far so good, no problems, bus timing is very accurate and routes are updated... Just needs to add in operator Tower Transit.
2016-05-15

Delightful to use and easy!
Compared to other apps with high ratings. I much prefer to use this. It is more detailed and you can add your favorites bus stops, timing is accurate and it is easy to use. Two thumbs up!

Great App . I like it .
2016-02-03

This App is awesome......
I can't get to use iris but I found this and try it's a bingo for me... Thank you to the founder... I will spread to all my circle!

Keep innovating, so far this app still the best for bus arrival.

Accurate bus arrival timing
I had been using Google Maps previously, but it stops showing the bus arrival timing, so I install this app and this is my first time using a bus app. After using it for the first time, I must say that the bus arrival timing is pretty accurate, and it's very helpful to also show the arrival timing of the next 2 buses, and the wheelchair accessibility.
2015-12-26
Convenient for life!
Very easy to use and accurate. But some route operate on Sunday and holiday could not be shown.
2015-12-08
Easy to use
This app is way better than iris app, as its allow easier adding of favourite bus stop info. Map feature locates bus services easily too
2015-11-29
Perfect app
I use it everyday
2015-11-27
gReat app! Good for downloading.
This is a nice app! 😊 use it every morning!
2015-11-24
Easy to use!
Great app that is easy to use!
2015-11-22
Accurate
This app is good and even better than the SBS Iris app. I think the app should be replicated by other countries.
2015-11-20
Best bus app so far
Love it. It's the best bus app so far. But hope we can see wider range SIngapore map to check on other bus stops.

Easy to use
Simple and more dependable than the SBS app, although sometimes the connection is unstable and there'll be 'no prediction', but that issue occurs with all bus apps in my experience. Overall very happy and satisfied!
2015-03-22
Very user-friendly
U still use this apps even though downloaded a few ones..as this so far is easy to use!
2014-12-23
iOS 8 optimization
Best of its kind, great accuracy and easy to use user interface, it would be perfect if it is iOS 8 optimized.
2014-12-04
Brilliant so far!
I've only used it a couple of times so far but it's been brilliant. Timings are accurate, comes with a map to show you where you are, even gives you the bus routes. Forget sgbus and Iris... This is the app for you!
2014-11-28
Indispensable App for the Urban Commuter
This app has been and still is the first app I open when I reach a bus-stop and I want to know the estimated time a bus service would arrive. Indispensable! Rate 4 stars because sometimes the data is unable to load ie it's a workday yet it states that the service is unavailable.
2014-07-04
Daily Use
Pretty much use this every time I ride the bus. One thing...can it provide a color line of the route on the map? That way I can see which way the bus travels visually
Thanks
2014-06-12
Fantastic app ... Very useful
Reliable and handy with an intuitive interface. Great job!
The only add-on would be to have a real-time map when we are en route on a bus ... Sometimes hard to know what stop we are at otherwise.
2014-06-11
Works well with timely information.
The arrival times are very accurate and I like the feature that allows me to set my favourite buses at preferred bus stops. With that feature, the buses appear at the top of the list instead of being listed sequentially.
2013-12-19
great until the recent downgrade
The interface used to be better and pulls up the info quickly. Now not only do u have to manually click ur saved favorite all the time, it is slower and often shows "not operating".
Thanks to ur definition of "upgrade", I ll be more careful in doing that to my other apps now.
2013-12-12
Bad update
After the recent 2 updates, my app failed to work both times. A blank white screen just shows up and nothing loads. Both times, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to work. However, this means that all my favourites are gone and I have to add them back again. This problem of the app not loading does not happen with other apps I have updated. Please fix this.
2013-03-04
Best Bus Schedule App Around
After the horrors of using the official IRIS app, I made my switch to this a few days ago. No errors, no crashes, no GPS bugs, no data retrieval issues - perfect. This app does its job well by presenting all the information you need in a clean and friendly user-interface. I rely on such an app a lot, so this is definitely a welcoming change. Keep up the great work.
2013-02-28
A million times faster than IRIS app!!
Super agreed with other reviewers on this app - fast to get time arrival and next arrival, has both SMRT and SBS timings and user interface is fast and easy. Yes, as with the other users, I delete IRIS app immediately after trying this app. No regrets so far. Thanks developer for ur ingenious work :)
2012-06-11
Wonderful application
Very accurate and very useful to me, but it doesn't work for my wife as she is taking SMRT buses most of the time and the information for most of the SMRT services are not available.
2012-04-21
I just love the app!
It is so convenient that there is no word to express. Hats of to you guys who came up with this app...
Thanks man...
It makes my life way easier for any occasion.. Either to work, to visit somebody or anything.... So usefull!!!
2012-01-27
Excellent app!
Totally worth to download! Merging of both sbs and SMRT real time arrival with fast loading, additional features and route info! Excellent map to show the actual bus stop as well!
2012-01-12
Data always fail to download
Disappointing how this app turned from a must use every morning to a waste of space in my phone. Data never fails to load. No matter how I load and reload. More often than not, i already got on the bus and the data is still loading or failed to load for the third time.
2012-01-03
Better than iris
I use this everyday I actually uninstalled the iris cause it was full of crap but this app really works but sometimes the bus timings are very inaccurate for example the bus left the bus stop but it still states 0min when it has already left. Can u please do something about this? Other than that it is the best app for bus timing gd job developer.

关于52号公交车
我很喜欢这个咨询，但有时不是很准时，有些许遗憾，我相信你们会越做越好，提供给我们更精准的时间。谢谢！
2011-10-06
It's useful!
This is so much than another app which crashes all the time! It loads faster and allows me to favorite my bus stops so I don't have to search it everyday! Fantastic!
2011-10-04
Timely!
Really useful app for those in a time crunch especially in the mornings. Knowing when to leave the house and get to the bus stop with as little waiting time possible. Like!
2011-09-22
Useful app
It's pretty handy that it gives options to save multiple bus stops as favorites, especially useful when you take those buses on a regular basis.
Accuracy is good as well, about 80-90% which is way better than some of the competitors. The app loads quite fast. This has been my number 1 app for bus timetable so far.
2011-08-05
Lags at peak hours
Most of the time, it freezes when u need it the most - when going to and off from work but otherwise a good app!!
2011-07-21
Much improved!!
Much improvement on stability and user interface after update. Always my preferred Bus app.
2011-07-14
My Preferred bus app
After the time where iris came out and all bus apps are not able to work, I really miss this app.
It's so much more responsive than iris. And this have a cleaner user interface
2011-07-14
Limited coverage after update
Was a 5 star rating app, until the latest update about 2 weeks ago rendered many bus stops with limited or nil coverage. All it does now is telling me no buses will be arriving in the next 30mins, even at places in town such as royal plaza. C'mon... Very disappointed and utterly frustrating. Will revert back to 5-star if developers can fix this bug.
2011-07-09
Good looks, poor function
Good user interface but bus arrival timings are sometimes not accurate and show "not in operation" when that is not the case. Refreshing doesn't work, need to click "back" and choose bus stop again to see refreshed timings. Appreciate if developer could fix these thanks!
2011-07-04
Good to see it back BUT...
With the recent media reports on the reluctance of bus operators in sharing their bus timing data with App developers, I guess they have now relented. It's nice to see good apps like Bus@SG back in service.
However, what's with the built-in iAds now?? The ads just mar the clean and useful display on the app. I know it's another source of revenue for the developer but it's just grating to see part of the screen taken up with distracting ads when it wasn't previously there...
Also, some bus services still don't display the corrent timing info or "not operating now"...... and are SBS and SMRT still blocking bus timing data at certain main bus depots / interchanges?
There is now a better alternative available in the AppStore but I hope Bus@Sg will continue to improve.
2011-05-11
Prob with abs server
I like the interface! Clean and friendly
The maps are an added much-needed bonus too!
I think the problems are with sbs servers, either not letting outside apps get access or overwhelmed...
2011-05-10
Great app but currently gt bug?
This app is great, I can check arrival for sbs interchange, but currently when I get the timing it show currently no prediction. Please fix it as this app is the only app that I can check interchange buses arrival.
2011-05-06
Best Singapore bus app so far
Nice interface, all the features I want, the idiots complaining about performance do not realise this is beyond the control of the app.
2011-04-29
Could be better
If tapping on the bus number takes u to the route instead of showing u the bus schedule
2011-04-26
Still missing…
The bus stop @ Bayfront Ave are still missing from your apps. Since I had reflected in my last comment, it is still not updated.
And updating of service time had somehow taking longer than before recently.
2011-04-19
Great tools come with valuable features
Instead of requesting user to key-in bus stop number, Bus@Sg comes with a map with bus stop already mapped into the map. When you selected the bus stop in the map, a list of relavant buses will be shown. I think this is a great tool for all public transport users :)
2011-04-14
Good but not very good
Its one of the better bus apps i've seen. Its rather handy. But when it fail to load, it really pisses me off when u miss your bus. But good when it loads as its fast and accurate.
2011-01-15
Determine location.
Unable to change the setting of whether to allor or don't allow the app to determine our location.
2010-12-04
GOOD!! but need some improvement.
good and useful app!! the buses timing are quite accurate. But still need some improvement as sometimes it keep showing NA!!!!
2010-12-03
Good but need improvement
Generally accurate. Need to look at the screen for a while more as the timing may just refresh for the 2nd time. Those who did not on 3G need to have a lil more patience.
2010-11-23
Good app w room 4 improvement
App is good n fast. For ease of checking, it will b even better if bus service n arrival time could appear on favorites page instead of having to go into each bus stop to access.
2010-11-08
Very useful and very good app
Thank you for updating this app. I've been waiting this for months. For me as a user, this is the most useful app for buses in sg. Layout is good, easy to see the timing with big number and subsequent bus. Even better with this update. Now we only need to click arrival time for bus that we need to know. Save the time to download data. Also, now with complete schedule and map. Moreover, this app is free, what else I can say than thank you to make this good app.
2010-06-26
Thank u
Thank u the time is so acurate but sometimes it said information unavailable or busy
