★ ABOUT ★

NYC Bus Time is developed by Transitway, an independent developer focused on making public transit easier for everyone. We built this app because we believe checking a bus arrival should take one second, not five taps through a complex menu. If you have ideas for how to make the app better, email us — we read every message.
