How Bustime works

Bustime provides data based on the analysis of GPS data of the current location of public transport. City transport is equipped with devices that send information about their location in real-time via mobile internet. This process includes several stages:

Satellite navigation data is transmitted to the server
On the server, data is recorded in the database and forwarded to the Bustime server
The Bustime server analyzes transport location points and transmits updated information to connected users

This mechanism allows receiving up-to-date information about the location of public transport in real-time.

The site works on phones without JS, smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers, TVs.

There are separate applications for Android and IOS.
