SpotBus is the smartphone app that shows you where your bus is and tells you when it will arrive at your stop. It’s simple to use, accurate, and reliable.
While other apps can tell you how far away the bus is (in miles), only SpotBus can tell when it will actually arrive
Middle and high school kids love it because it tells them when the bus will arrive at their stop so they can avoid waiting at the bus stop in poor weather when the bus is running late, and never wait for a bus they have actually missed.
Parents love it because nobody has to wait around at the bus stop, and it’s easy to meet their kids at just the right time.
