THE NEXT WEB UK & Media Editor Paul Sawers says: Bus Guru is differentiating itself from existing apps by providing real-time information... as well as letting you plan your journey... You can choose to view bus stops and full TFL bus routes on a customised map, and you can even see all the locations where you can top-up your Oyster Card around you, which is actually a very handy feature if you’re looking to avoid paying the premium cash-fares on London transport... It’s an intuitive app to use. Most importantly, it works and it’s pretty fast too.

NEW MEDIA AGEs Ronan Shields says: I’ve spent many a frosty morning stuck at an East End bus stop cursing the lack of such a service and the Bus Guru site developers here have finally delivered.

JOURNEY PLANNER
We have combined two very complex systems so please email the Bus Guru Support Team [email protected] if you find any blips and we will update the app.

LOCATION SERVICES
As with all good location-based apps, Bus Guru works with your phone’s location services (3G/GPS/GPRS/WiFi) and searches for up to 10 seconds to locate you as accurately as possible when you open the app so please make sure your setting for location services are on.

TFL LIVE COUNTDOWN DATA
If the app ever says ‘No Data Available’ it is either due to TFL’s data being temporarily unavailable or your location is outside the TFL Live Countdown zone.

HELP
If you do experience any problems then please do contact the Bus Guru Support Team [email protected] (before rashly leaving a bad review) as we can most likely swiftly solve it for you. Feedback is always read and considered.
