Live MTA Bus Tracker

Features & Capabilities

BusBus NYC provides real-time visibility into the location of select MTA buses in New York City, helping you plan trips and estimate arrival times for lines that are currently live.

Not all MTA buses are available in this version. The live data is being rolled out to more lines by the MTA, so more buses will appear over time. This limitation is due to data availability, not the BusBus NYC app.

User Reviews

Users praise BusBus NYC for a simple, visual map that shows bus locations and numbers, making it easy to gauge the next buses. Common complaints focus on data lag and inaccurate positions, missing routes, readability of bus numbers, and refresh performance. Overall, strong visual utility is tempered by accuracy and coverage gaps that affect reliability.

Pros

Clear visual map showing bus locations at a glance
Bus numbers (and run numbers in some cases) are displayed for quick identification
Simple, easy-to-use, no-frills interface
Very useful for planning trips and tracking the next buses
Blue line feature helps with route tracking (liked by some users)

Cons

Position data lags and is often not real-time; buses appear behind or ahead of actual location
Incomplete route coverage; several lines and boroughs are missing
Readability issues due to small font and low contrast on bus icons
Performance/refresh problems: slow loading and limited automatic refreshing

I used to like this app to see approaching buses that don’t always come up on Google maps, or to double check Google/MTA. Now the map is so slow to load buses, there’s no visual to show if things are loading or live, and when they do show up the buses appear several stops behind their true location. Love the concept, but it’s not working.

Not a frequent app reviewer, but this is the BEST visual for buses. Don’t need to know the numbers nor the stops. Just see buses where you are or where you want to go. Simple straight forward. Visually simple. I highly recommend Note: sometimes the BxM (1&2) buses dont show in the Bronx
