The problem
Piura had buses. But no information.
Before
You knew a bus came down your street, but not when, not the exact route, not how long. You'd ask at the stop and guess.

The network, in data
This is how Piura moves.
Not estimates: it comes from the same database the app uses, so it changes when the network does.
How often does it run?
The most frequent lines in the city
11 of the 20 lines run every 15 minutes or less.
When is there service?
How many lines run during each hour of the day
The first one leaves at 5:00 and the last stops running at 22:00. Most of the day, all of them are running.
Three kinds of line
How the network splits between regulated, urban and intercity
- 13 regulated
- 4 urban
- 3 intercity
Each kind covers a different part of the city and its outskirts.

Straight talk
So nothing catches you out.
We cannot see buses live
We tell you how often a line runs according to its schedule, not where the bus is right now. No company in Piura shares open GPS yet.
Android only, for now
The native app is for Android. On an iPhone you can use the web app, which does the same.
We show you the route
Piura has no formal bus stops: buses pull over when you wave them down. So we show you where the line runs, not exact stop points.
It is still a test
The app works, but we are still fixing things. If something is wrong, report it from the app and we will sort it out.
