Although we try our best to minimise inaccuracies, missing data & incorrect predictions may cause incomplete/inaccurate times. Please notify us if this occurs. Required Permissions for Android 14 and Above To ensure optimal functionality and provide the best user experience, our app requires certain permissions on Android 14 and newer devices: - Foreground data sync: This permission is necessary for the bus times home screen widget to fetch and display the most up-to-date bus arrival information. - Foreground media playback: This permission is essential for the "Track & Remind" feature to play audible alerts when your selected bus is about to arrive, even when the app is not in the foreground. - Background location: This permission is optional and used to monitor your trips to provide proactive disruption information and suggest alternative routes for faster travel. You can enable or disable this feature in the Rewards and Smart Alert feature in app. We value your privacy and assure you that these permissions will only be used for the stated purposes and will not be used to track your location in the background without your explicit consent. You have the option to turn off background location via your Android settings. Live arrival information is sourced directly from Transport for London (TfL) and other public data sources. While we strive to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, delays, disruptions, and unforeseen circumstances may occur. We are not responsible for any inaccuracies, errors, or delays in the information provided. We disclaim all liability for any losses, damages, or inconveniences resulting from the use of this app or reliance on the information provided.
