Description

We recognise that catching a bus in rural midWales may not be your first your first travel choice. This may bedue in part to the lack of awareness of bus services in the area,or a lack of confidence that the bus you are waiting for isactually coming and is coming on time. So, in order to try andremove these potential barriers and to offer bus passengeradditional reassurances, we have developed Bwsiti. Bwsiti is alocal bus service journey planner for Powys in Mid Wales and a bitmore.

Not only will Bwsiti plan your journey, it gives you actual livebus locations to give you the reassurance that the bus you haveplanned to catch is on its way and what time (predicted and actual)it will be at your stop. This is all backed up with the ability toview timetable content even when offline where the mid Wales 3Gsignal is not alway the strongest! There is of course a fullyinteractive route map too.

You can see and follow the bus you are waiting for in actualtime on the interactive map which will show you your location andnext stop if you're not sure where to get off and you can save yourfavoutite journeys.
