London bus apps
 

Visiting London next weekend. Does anyone have any strong views on
which bus times app is the best? I'm not bothered about paying a
small fee to avoid adverts.

If you're talking iphone / iPad, I prefer Next Bus London by a country
mile. The others all have various features and graphics that just get in
the way of seeing the data.

Sorry, I should have said it's a Windows phone.

Nothing yet. Microsoft will release three at the same time.

There is. There's 'Buses Due' (free), 'London Bus Hub' (free) and
'London Bus Checker' (£1.99).

I tried Buses Due but I am annoyed with them for trying to con me with
a prize draw that would have cost me £4.50 had I not checked the T&C.

I thought the inbuild Nokia app was good at public transport - not that
I've ever used it. Does it not include TfL?

If your wondering when the next bus will arrive, then text the number on
the stop to 87287.

Don't bother with the buses, they hardly ever show up on time, are slow,
uncomfortable and are usually full of scum especially at night. Use the tube.
If you have to use a bus in London then you've messed up your journey
planning somehow.
