Citybus

What Citybus does

Citybus is a public transport app for getting around Hong Kong. It combines bus information with route planning, helping regular commuters and visitors check nearby stops, compare journeys and follow the progress of an approaching vehicle. The app is most useful when you need more than a map: it brings arrival information and practical trip details into one place.

Useful travel information

• Check estimated arrival times for Citybus and other supported services, including KMB, New Lantao Bus and green minibuses.
• See the distance between a bus and your selected stop, rather than relying only on a minute countdown.
• Plan point-to-point journeys and compare routes, including options affected by interchange discounts and expected travel times.
• Search for nearby stops within a local area and switch between countdown displays and scheduled arrival times.
• Save commonly used routes and receive notifications about selected services or disruptions.

For daily riders and occasional trips

Frequent passengers can use saved routes and live vehicle information to make routine journeys easier to check. Visitors may find the nearby-stop search and cross-operator route planning helpful when travelling through unfamiliar districts. GPS-based alight reminders are also intended to reduce the chance of missing a stop, with alerts provided at two distance points.

Track record and user response

Citybus is listed in Travel & Local and has passed 1,000,000 installs. It is developed by Citybus. The app has a rating of 2.42 from 16,711 ratings, which points to a mixed overall user response despite its broad transport coverage. That makes the practical value clear: Citybus offers a substantial set of tools for Hong Kong bus travel, but its rating is worth considering alongside the features before making it part of your regular commute.
