Shuttle buses

No announcements on the shuttle?
It still knows your stop.

Work and campus shuttles rarely name their stops or announce them, so it’s easy to ride right past while you look out the window. Pin the office gate, your dorm or the airport drop-off once.

How it works

Four steps. That’s it.

01

Pin it on the map,
set the radius.

A stop, a station, your office — anywhere. Choose from 50 m to 2 km while you see the circle.

Edit place screen with a radius circle on the map and a radius slider

02

On arrival, on leaving,
only on weekday mornings.

Pick when each place alerts you. Set days and hours, and it alerts only then.

Alert hours screen with weekdays selected and start and end times

03

Sound only when
earphones are in.

Wired, USB-C or Bluetooth. Sound only when a connection is confirmed — otherwise, vibration only.

Alert sound screen noting that sounds play only through earphones

04

When you arrive,
one big button to stop.

Big enough to press with your thumb on a moving bus, without looking.

FAQ

Questions

Can it wake me up before my bus or subway stop?

Yes. Save your stop or station on the map and your phone vibrates the moment you enter that radius — even with the app closed and the screen off.

Does it work on shuttles, commuter buses and trains?

Yes. It works on any trip with a place to get off: buses, shuttles, commuter buses, subways, trains and intercity buses. Save the stop or station on the map and give it a generous radius.

Does it make a sound without earphones?

No. It plays a sound only after confirming wired, USB-C or Bluetooth earphones are connected. Otherwise it only vibrates and never uses the speaker.

Does it drain the battery?

It does not keep GPS on. Far from your places it relies on the system’s geofencing, and only checks precisely when you get close.

Is my location sent to a server?

No. Arrival is detected on your phone and your trips are never sent to a server. There is no account. If you turn on Google Drive sync in Pro, only your list of places is saved to the app's private folder in your own Google Drive.

Can I get alerts on my smartwatch?

Yes. If your Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch mirrors phone notifications, arrival alerts reach your wrist. Settings › Get alerts on your watch shows how.

Is it free?

Downloading and the basics are free: one place, the default alerts, and ads. A one-time Pro purchase adds more places and removes ads. Ads never appear on the screen that is alerting you.

Starting with tonight’s ride home,
