About Vancouver Transit Live

Vancouver Transit Live is an android bus transit application that allows you to comprehensively search Vancouver, British Columbia's TransLink bus schedules to get live updates on buses coming to the stops you select.

Vancouver Transit Live uses your rough GPS location to get the times of your closest favourite Vancouver TransLink bus stops, showing you the stop/route schedule you care about when you care about it. It will also show your the times of the closest stop to you, regardless of favorite or not.

Vancouver Transit Live allows you to:

• Plan your trip with the Trip Planner which shows you which buses to take to get where you need to go!
• Search by schedule - bus - direction - stop location!
• Search by bus stop number or by other keyword, like street name or destination!
• Shows the next bus times of the stop closest to your GPS location!
• Add favourite bus stops!
• Automatically gives you the times of next buses arriving at your closest favourite bus stop!
• This means that when you open the app it will automatically show you the next buses coming to the stop you take to get to school/work or home and vice versa!

Please rate Vancouver Transit Live and comment on what needs to be changed/fixed, or email comments and suggestions.

Terrible, switching to google

O70%
by O####:

It doesn't seem to catch a lot of buses. And it has a lot of "ghost" buses that are a minute away but never come until they disappear from the list. It's mostly correct but mostly is not good enough on transportation schedules

The only thing missing is a way to plan trips at other times than the present. I have no idea when buses stop and start running for instance.

Sorry for the bad review. Running it for the first time the busses for a couple routes (#14 and #16) were displayed but I couldn't figure out how to change which busses were displayed. Selecting a route only displayed the bus stops. I want to see the actual busses for my selected routes. Spent about 10 min trying to figure it out and I have to move on. Good luck developing this, if I don't find a better alternative I'll check back and see of the bugs have been worked out.

Today is the first time that I have seen the actual bus icons and believe me, I've been looking. Very happy that you are including this now. Thank you!

To the creator, thanks for fixing your app! My 'starred' bus stops on the drop menu had stopped working for sometime and also sometimes the other options on the drop menu wasn't doing anything. I tried to reinstall the app a couple times, and finally gave up and used another app (which wasn't as good functionally, imo) Anyways, I'd never knew how important this app was for my commute until it stopped working. Keep up the good work!

Quick and accurate. Definitely one of the better apps of its kind. I almost never give 5 stars because there needs to be room for improvement. Like the favorites feature for instance. Practically speaking, 4 favs isn't enough. Good app though. Get it!

C70%
by C####:

Well designed. This is the best TransLink app and anybody who use public transport should use this app. The others are way behind in design and ease of use

Great app. Easy to use.

Sammy S5 here - the Search button does nothing, the Location button does nothing 'Location' is turned on - and app permissions allow access Google Maps and many other Location Dependant Apps all work quite well uninstalled / reinstalled - Same Same It would appear from at least one other comment that I am not the only one with this issue. Notice you 'replied' on the 03/06 but I could see nothing other than that fact. Found another 'Live' Translink App that does work.

Map just doesn't zoom in on my location, Google maps work fine. Other apps work fine as well.

V70%
by V####:

Is there a way to see stops more generally on the map rather than only those close to current location?

D70%
by D####:

Needs better font

K70%

Looks god so far! Nice UI!

D70%

I like the way this app is map based. The app picks up your location immediately then you can click on any stop to get the buses that are arriving. The trip planner is easy to use and responds quickly.

K70%
by K####:

Always accurate!

I tried this app today for the 1st time using Translink in Vancouver. Great App. It got me from Fleetwood to Granville Island and back without getting lost. I am not sure what to do with the favorites or the purpose? I could see them if you could plan a route and select the favorite as either a start or destination point. About all I can see a use for is to remember the stop number to enter it on the from/to. search. Please consider adding ability to select from favorites.

The bus was 10 minutes late, it didn't notify the delay and when it arrived it was an express bus that does not even stop at my stop.

D70%
by D####:

At the right stop, there's my next bus. It is easy to use and fast. My device has no issues with GPS lock, so the app is always spot on.

Probably the best app out there
