Bus Tracking system and real-time bus data

April 28, 2016

All routes are now available via the PTV mobile apps and the Next 5 section of the PTV website.  

A bus tracking system is the means of geo-locating a bus. This then feeds data into any number of devices to provide information to customers and public transport operators about the location of the bus.

Real-time bus data is the information returned from the bus tracking system. The data shows the expected time in minutes from the point of display until the arrival of the relevant bus.

For more info on what the bus tracking system and real time bus data initiative is all about, check out the PTV information page.

Set up your iPhone with the new PTV App & experience public transport in a whole different light. 

All routes are now available via the PTV smartphone mobile apps and the Next 5 section of the PTV website, giving all users a bus tracking system and real-time bus data.
