Allows users to bookmark their origin and destination to speed up nearby bus stop search and point-to-point search.

5. The Look for ETA by destination feature suggests direct Citybus routes from the user's current location to the selected destination, providing the ETA to the nearest bus stop.

   • If there is no direct route available, the system provides a combination of Citybus routes to reach the destination.

9. The Fare Concession feature allows users to easily access the Citybus fare concession page, which offers various bus-bus interchange and other fare discounts.

Remarks:

• The automatic search for nearest routes and bus stops function utilizes the location service of your device.
• When the alight reminder is enabled, the app uses the location service of your device continuously until arrival at the selected bus stop, which may drain battery.
• Next bus ETA, alight reminder, and search results of point-to-point search are for reference only and subject to traffic conditions.
