NextBus iPhone App Essential If You Use Buses In UK


There are some iPhone apps you suddenly realise you can't do without. For me, NextBus is one of them.

When you launch the app, which is UK-only, it locates where you are and shows you the nearest bus-stops. Tap on a stop and you get a list of the next buses due and when they're due.  In many areas you get "real-time" schedules but not everywhere, including - surprisingly - London.

It's incredibly useful to use before you set off for your local bus-stop to see if everything's running to time.

The app costs 59p in the Apple App Store. Hit the jump to see a list of areas that support "real-time" services.
