I commute from Taoyuan County to Taipei for work, which is not so bad, but I can’t stand the suspense of waiting without knowing how long until the next bus. There used to be a really ghetto website over at 220.128.210.242/ but ever since they updated it, it no longer has live information for where each bus is. There are a ton of apps for iOS and Android that show live data for buses in particular cities, but I haven’t seen any websites or apps for highway buses. Does anyone know of any?
The entire system isn’t up yet, but there are some apps that seems to provide tracking for some routes.
台灣公車通 (台北/桃園/台中/台南/高雄公車) <-- should have some for Intercity bus
play.google.com/store/apps/deta … star.twbus
iBus_桃園縣 <— not sure if it has intercity bus info
play.google.com/store/apps/deta … TaoyuanBus
高雄公車動態 <-- only for Takao buses
play.google.com/store/apps/deta … S_Bus_lite
oh, and if you use iPhone, then I have no idea how to help you, except this… go get an Android phone.
I’m an Android loyalist but I keep an iPad around for… sentimental reasons I guess? Unfortunately 台灣公車通 only lists routes and stops, but not the relative location of the bus, so it’s no more useful than reading the placard at the bus stop.
Try “Bus tracker taipei”.
It lists the buses, their stops, and how many minutes before the next bus arrives.
Not for intercity buses.
