Store description excerpt
BusBuddy — the friendly way to catch your bus Waiting for a bus shouldn't feel stressful. BusBuddy shows where your bus actually is, right now, on a clear map — so you know whether to run, walk, or wait warm indoors for a couple more minutes Made in the UK, and designed from day one to be usable by a child getting home from school as much as an adult on the way to work. What you can do • See live bus positions on a clean, easy-to-read map • Search any stop by name, code, or landmark • Real-time departures with cancellations and delays highlighted • Save your regular stops for one-tap access • Save your regular trips (home → school, school → home) with next-bus previews • Get a friendly ping when your bus is 5 minutes away (optional) • Choose Simple, Normal, or Detailed language throughout the app • Light and dark mode plus a warm cream Built for families Under-18 accounts need a parent or guardian's approval before they can be used. Parents get an email to say yes, and can help set up a first trip together. Location is off by default — the app never tracks a child's whereabouts unless they turn on the "your bus is nearly here" alert. Privacy-first, no ads, no tracking We never sell your information. We never share it with advertisers. There's no behavioural tracking, no profiling, and no third-party analytics anywhere. BusBuddy is built to comply with the UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code), and privacy defaults are set to the strictest option out of the box. How the live data works BusBuddy uses the UK government's Bus Open Data Service (BODS) — the official feed that UK operators publish live vehicle positions and timetables to. Coverage starts in Kent at launch and expands region by region as we grow.
