BUZUFBA for Android

App overview

BUZUFBA is a free Android app that delivers live transit information for the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). It helps users find nearby bus stops, follow vehicles in real time, and consult schedules for active routes — all from a single mobile interface.

Core capabilities

• Live tracking of vehicles on specific lines so you can see buses moving along their routes.
• Interactive map view that highlights nearby stops and their locations.
• Access to timetables and operating schedules for lines currently in service.
• Route planner that builds trips between two points, factoring walking segments and different transport options, with continuous updates.

Trip planning and personalization

The app’s planner creates step-by-step itineraries and updates them as conditions change. You can save frequently used lines, stops, or full planned journeys for instant retrieval later. Saved items appear in a favorites section for quick access.

Alerts and operational notices

BUZUFBA also publishes general advisories about stops and routes that might impact service — delays, detours, or temporary suspensions — so you can adjust plans before you travel.

Accessibility and device requirements

Designed with accessibility in mind, the interface supports TalkBack and provides clear guidance for reaching destinations. Installation requires a device running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later.
