We receive many reviews and emails saying how the app saves them time on a daily basis as well as encouraging them to use buses more frequently. Two and a half years later, Bus New York City has developed into one of the most popular New York Bus utility apps available. Luckily, this all coincided with the opening of public transport data by the MTA. This is what gave him the inspiration to start developing Bus New York City.Īfter working at the company that helped to develop the SIRI standard, as well as developing a similar system for London's buses, Will was confident that he could greatly improve the experience for New Yorkers. He found negotiating the bus system very difficult and the experience put him off using the system all together.

He was staying in Manhattan on 20th and 1st and for the first time found himself a distance from the subway. The app was conceived by developer Will Ryan whilst on a trip to visit family in December 2010.

Bus NYC is the most feature rich New York City bus app available, enhanced with MTA Bus Time.
