What you get with SG Bus App
Real-Time Bus Arrival (ETA) & Service Info
Stay updated with accurate bus arrival times and additional details:
Live Timings: View arrival estimates for the next 2 or 3 buses at any stop, refreshed every 10 seconds while you look. Cards or List: Show the services at a stop as cards or as a compact list. Operating Hours Timeline: A visual indicator shows if a bus is currently running or out of service for the day, with weekday, Saturday and Sunday first and last buses. Bus Details: See bus type (Single, Double-deck, or Bendy), operator (SBST, SMRT, Tower Transit, or Go-Ahead), and bus load (Seats available, standing, or limited space). Not Running Right Now: Services with no bus on the way are listed separately, so you know which ones to skip.
Bus Board: Just the Next Buses
The simple view, for when you only want to know what is coming (New):
Your Nearest Stop: One screen with the stop nearest you, its name and the walk to it. It needs your location to find the stop. Big and Clear: The next buses by the minute they are due, each bus number in a dot coloured by how full the bus is (seats, standing, full, or no info). One Swipe per Stop: Swipe left or right for the next nearest stop; the dots show how many are near. Always Fresh: The times refresh every 10 seconds while the board is on screen. Your Choice Stays: Tap the Bus Board button beside the tabs to switch in, and Full app to switch back. SG Bus opens on the one you used last.
Live Bus Map
See where your bus is, not just when it comes:
Buses on the Map: Open the map on any bus stop full screen to see the buses on their way to it, moving along their roads, coloured by operator. Your Services First: The map shows your bookmarked services at the stop; tap the card at the top to see every service. Tap a Bus: See when it and the next one arrive, and where it is going. Never Lose Track: Labels at the edge of the screen point to buses further away; tap one to bring it into view.

Bookmarks & Recent Stops
Your everyday stops, one tap away:
Recent: The Recent button lists the last 10 bus stops you opened, latest first, each with how far away it is. No need to bookmark a stop you only check now and then. Quick Bookmarks: Save your frequent stops and services to see their live arrivals the moment you open the app. Rename Bus Stops: Give any stop a name of your own (e.g., "Home," "Office," "Mom's Place") for faster identification.
