## Description

SG NextBus is a lightweight Chrome extension that gives you quick access to bus arrival times for Singapore's most frequented routes. It displays the estimated arrival for the next three buses and continues to push arrival time alerts via rich content notifications even after you close the app.

The extension also offers convenient features such as a lock-screen experience, a Today Widget showing nearby saved buses, and an Apple Watch companion app. You can view bus capacity information, including seats and standing space, and organize routes into groups. Data is sourced from the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA).
