The MTA recently expanded the availability of real-time bus location information to all bus routes in New York City.  No more wondering when the bus will come.  No more guessing which route to take.  This is big news, especially for areas not near major subway lines, like Wallabout and the northern parts of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

Real time data is available on the MTA website, via text message, and via MTA-approved smartphone apps.  To save you time, our staff tested many of the smartphone apps.  We recommend NYC Bus Checker and Roadify.  Both are fast, accurate, have interactive maps, and can save favorite stops for on-the-go use.  And both are FREE.

So what are you waiting for?  Get on the bus!
