How does it work?
Find your stop
Enter either a postcode, a street and town (eg Broad Av Leicester), or a stop code if you know it.Browse stop list
Use the map or the list to work out which bus stop you want. Make sure you choose the stop on the right side of the road for your journey. Click on the relevant stop from the results list. On most phones, you can also press the corresponding number on your phone keypad.If you have searched by a street name and town, there may be many results. If you can't find the stop you wanted, or the results aren't where you expected, scroll down your screen to view other locations. If you still can't find your stop, refine your search eg by using a postcode.
Departure board
You will now get the times of the next buses leaving the stop. Live information is shown where available eg "in 6 min", otherwise the sheduled departure is shown as a time eg "08:31".You can click on one of the route numbers to see more bus times on the same route.
The other options on the screen allow you to look at nearby stops or start a new search.
You can bookmark the departure board on most phones for 1-click use in future.
What does it cost?
This nextbuses.mobi service is free, apart from any normal data charges made by your mobile operator (contact your operator for details)Small charges are made when you first download iPhone and Android apps. These are explained when you go to the app store.
Does this allow people to know where I am?
The system uses the location technology developed by the mobile operators. The only way we use the location function is to establish where your handset is in order to make the system more user friendly and more intelligent. Traveline will not use any data related to this for any other purpose.
Can I use bus stop codes?
Yes. Most bus stops codes that are needed for the SMS system and displayed at bus stops can be used in NextBuses.
Can I bookmark the system on my phone?
Yes in the same way you would bookmark any other webpage on your phone
How can I know if NextBuses will work on my phone?
