Where is my bus?

Find buses, track crowdsourced passenger locations in real time, and help everyone waiting down the route across Kolkata and West Bengal.

Why crowdsourcing? Over 90% of private and mini buses across West Bengal have no onboard GPS hardware. BusBusGo uses the one sensor every bus carries: the passengers on board.

HOW CROWDSOURCING WORKS

The Living Telemetry Loop

Learn more

A bus without expensive GPS telematics ends up on this live map because somebody on board shares their ride.

01

Passenger Boards

A passenger boards the bus, opens BusBusGo and taps “I'm on this bus”. No login or personal details needed.

1-Tap Broadcast
02

Location Streams

Their phone securely transmits coordinates. Fixes snap to sourced road geometry, eliminating GPS jitter.

Road-Snapped GPS
03

Everyone Sees Live

Waiting passengers watch the live bus glide across the map in real time, with exact freshness timestamps.

Real-Time Arrival
HONESTY BY DESIGN

Built to be trustworthy, not busy

We believe honesty in transit is everything. If nobody is tracking, we say so plainly without simulations.

Never invented

No simulated buses or artificial progress. If nobody has reported a bus, the page states it directly.

Live means live

A position minutes old is labelled “last seen”, never “live”. Every claim carries its age.

No location history

Tracking sessions publish one current position, overwritten each update. No journey history is stored.

Passenger collective

Open for all riders in West Bengal. One contributor on a bus makes that route useful for hundreds.

ROBUST PLATFORM

Engineered for Bengal Transit Reality

Optimized for crowded bus corridors, intermittent mobile data, and battery conservation.

Offline-First Catalog

Search thousands of Bengal routes instantly even with flaky 2G coverage at remote stops.

OpenStreetMap Alignment

Paths follow true road geometry curves, not misleading straight lines between stops.

Minimal Battery Footprint

Sensors pause when the bus is idling at signals or depots, protecting contributor phone batteries.

Private Transit Rooms

Set up private tracking corridors for corporate office shuttles, universities, or schools.

COMMUTER KNOWLEDGE

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about how BusBusGo works, passenger privacy, and route tracking.

Over 90% of private and mini buses across Kolkata and West Bengal lack expensive onboard telematics. BusBusGo harnesses the passengers riding on board: when a rider boards and taps "I'm on this bus", their device securely transmits corridor coordinates, allowing everyone waiting at downstream stops to see the live bus in real time.
