-
The Intelligent Point to Point Route Search feature displays the fastest, cheapest, or route with less walking required Citybus routes at the user's selected time of travel.
- Provides estimated journey time integrating timetable, historical bus journey times, ETA, and user walking time.
- Includes Octopus interchange and fare concessions when displaying fare information.

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.
