BusAhead SG is built for everyday commuters in Singapore who want less fuss, not another app to dig through. Nearby timings in the app, or on Home Screen and over other apps. The map is there when you want the full picture.
Timings first. Maps, MRT, and more when you need them.
Other apps list stops near you, but you still tap in and scan the services. BusAhead SG shows the first few buses due at each nearby stop on one screen. Swipe up from the bottom for full timings on every service.
Home Screen widgets on iPhone and Android keep arrivals in view at a glance. On iOS, Live Activities put the next bus on your Lock Screen. On Android, a floating overlay shows timings over any app, so you often never need to reopen BusAhead SG.
Search bus numbers, stops, and MRT stations. Save favourites for the trips you take every day.
For enthusiasts and power users: follow bus routes across Singapore, compare services, and see where a bus actually goes on a map built for public transport, not driving.
Buses and MRT on one map. Spot train lines, stations, and exits so you can plan a transfer without switching to a car-first maps app.
