Real Time Passenger Information

If you would like to see the ‘real’ time your bus is due to depart visit our check that bus page. This is a website which has been designed to provide bus passengers travelling within Plymouth with actual bus journey times for their journey rather than relying on scheduled times. We hope this means that all passengers will be able to make an informed choice about their travel plans and spend less time waiting at bus stops.

The site will enable you to:

• Locate your nearest bus stop
• Find out the time of the next departures from that stop, with the ability to regularly refresh the information on your computer desktop
• Find out the unique code for your bus stop – this will allow you to receive bus departure time text messages on your mobile phone any time you like.
