Bus Follower

Bus Follower is a highly useful application that caters to commuters who frequently rely on Ottawa's bus system. If you find yourself inconvenienced by the uncertainty of bus schedules or the discomfort of waiting outdoors, Bus Follower may serve as a solution by providing real-time GPS-based location and arrival time data of OC Transpo buses. With this app, staying comfortably indoors until just before your bus arrives is now a possibility.

To utilize Bus Follower, you simply input your bus stop number or name or select a stop directly from the integrated map feature. Once you've chosen your stop, select the desired bus route to view the next three predicted times of arrival. This live information helps to minimize the waiting time at the stop and improves your overall travel experience.

Additionally, frequent data refreshes ensure that the most current information is always at your fingertips. For more details on a particular bus, a simple tap reveals more in-depth information.

Please be aware that not all buses may have GPS data available as this depends on OC Transpo's system capabilities. In such instances where GPS data isn't provided, scheduled arrival times are displayed instead.

Championing its open-source nature, the platform invites contributions and improvements from its community of users. This collaborative focus helps ensure that it continues to evolve, remaining user-friendly and accurate.
