TheNextBus
Know when your bus is coming
Live London arrivals on a small WiFi display by your door — before you leave the house.
Three moves, every morning
- 01
Pick your stops
Search for up to two bus stops near your address and choose the routes you actually take.
- 02
It fetches live arrivals
TheNextBus polls TfL's live arrivals API so the times on screen are always current.
- 03
Glance on your way out
Mount it by the door. One look tells you if you've got two minutes or twenty.
Where it lives at home
Kitchen counter or hallway console — wherever you actually leave the house from.
Two configurable stops
Track two bus stops and routes at once — home and the school run, or two directions from the same stop.
Live TfL data
Arrival times come straight from Transport for London's live API.
Touch route picker
Tap a card on the device itself to change route without opening the configurator.
No app, no drivers
Set up WiFi and stops from a browser tab — nothing to install.
Updates itself
New firmware installs over WiFi, so the device keeps improving after it's on your shelf.
The device
A 3D-printed enclosure on a desk stand, showing two live stop cards at once — BTA and Layhams in the photo, your stops on the real unit.
At home, later
After 9pm the display dims itself so it stays useful without lighting up the room — glance from the sofa, then override with a tap if you need it brighter.
Pricing
From £69.99
Indicative pricing for when checkout opens. Checkout isn't live yet — join the waitlist below and we'll email you when it is.
Still being refined
Every unit ships in a 3D-printed enclosure. TheNextBus is still in active development and testing, so expect small variations in fit and finish between units as we refine the design.
Frequently asked questions
Which areas are supported?
London only, for now — TheNextBus uses Transport for London's bus arrival data, so it only works for stops within TfL's network.
Is this an official TfL product?
No. TheNextBus is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Transport for London.
What does setup involve?
You connect the device once over USB to enter your WiFi details and pick your stops, using a browser — no app or drivers required. See our how-to-use guide for the full walkthrough.
When will it ship, and when does checkout open?
TheNextBus is still in development and testing. Join the waitlist and we'll email you as soon as checkout opens.
What happens with my email address?
We only use it to let you know when checkout opens. No spam, no sharing with third parties.
What's the enclosure made of?
The case is 3D printed. The product is still being refined, so finish and tolerances may vary slightly between units.
