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. |

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. |

That'll be nowt to do with the app's developer and everything to do with the advertiser (the app shows adverts). |

Sun, 22 Sep 2013, Scott remarked: There's 'Buses Due' (free), 'London Bus Hub' (free) and 'London Bus Checker' (£1.99). The free ones don't seem to be available for Windows 8 (on a PC), which is a bit of a puzzle. MS don't allow you to download a "phone" app to a PC - so much for convergence and upwards compatibility! -- Roland Perry |

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