If you’re dependent on public transportation to run your errands or go to work, then a mobile app that helps you handle and foresee such irritating events is a must. Keep on reading to find out about the best, most reliable bus apps in Singapore.

SG Buses

This is a simple, user-friendly application devised for Android users and meant to offer quick and concise information regarding the routes and timetables of buses operating in Singapore. Employing bus arrival time data from the Land Transport Authority of Singapore, this basic app allows you to check the estimated time of arrival of public transportation vehicles. This means that you no longer have to run after your bus because you left home 2 minutes late. You can now find out beforehand the exact time when your bus arrives at the station. Moreover, you can also request information on capacity and know how many seats are currently unoccupied. Singaporeans who have experienced rides on overcrowded, chock-full buses fully understand the importance of capacity indicators. Using SG Buses, you can use the following color indicator to know how much space is available – white means that there are free seats on the bus, while yellow indicates limited seating space and red stands for limited standing space. If you still miss your first bus, don’t worry! The app also has a built-in option to show you the time of arrival for the next 2 buses.
