About SEPTA Bus Tracker

How it works:

  • Real-time bus locations are fetched from SEPTA's live TransitView API every 30 seconds
  • Only buses approaching your selected stop in the correct direction are shown
  • Arrival times are estimated based on distance and an average city bus speed of 10mph

Features:

  • Bus occupancy indicators (seats available, standing room, etc.)
  • Active detour notifications with detailed routing information
  • Color coding for arrival times indicating whether bus is on schedule (within 3min) or not
  • Manual refresh option for immediate updates

Tips:

  • Distance is measured as straight-line distance from the bus location to your selected stop, not factoring in route
  • Straight line travel assumptions may cause inaccurate time estimates for atypical routes
  • If no buses appear, they may not be running or you may have selected a stop near the start of the line so no busses are en route

FAQ:

  • This app collects no data from you whatsoever
  • Saved routes are stored securely on your device, so you'll lose them if you clear your storage/cache
  • The app was made for a specific individual purpose of wanting an extremely fast way to see if buses were approaching a specific stop, so no additional features are planned
