Inclusive features
Assistance for the visually impaired
The Bustime app is adapted for use by the visually impaired with the help of VoiceOver and TalkBack technologies (hardware screen reading). Thanks to this feature, the visually impaired can find out where their bus is without external help at stops.
Tracking and notification functions
The application implements the 'Waiting here' feature, allowing you to hear how your bus is approaching and the 'Exiting here' feature, warning about the approach of the stop where you need to exit. Also useful for the visually impaired
Mode for the visually impaired
We have taken care of visually impaired people who need a high-contrast theme. In this mode, only the most important functionality is left to avoid distractions in perceiving information. The Bustime development team has added the ability to increase the font size so that the content on the application screens does not break, and the reading experience is comfortable.
Special designations for people with limited mobility
Designations for low-floor buses. Local designations for each bus are also provided, which help buses
