Default London bus apps

They come back in about 30 seconds.


I much prefer an app, where you can keep the time showing to time your walk
precisely to a stop. If you're willing to get a taxi in the event of a
no-show, it is an incredibly useful tool to cut waiting time and allow you
to remove a "spare bus" from a time critical journey.

I use "Bus Checker UK" which is the best I've come across though it does
have some bugs. There's also MyBusTrip if you live in Cambridgeshire, as
they don't seem to upload their data into Traveline. The latter also seems
to work throughout a route if the route you are interested in serves at
least one stop in Cambridgeshire - the Stagecoach X5 works with it which
given its dubious punctuality does rather help.
