From the route to your stop

iBus plans trips on Israel's buses and trains, shows when your bus will come and tells you when it's time to leave. It works in the browser in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and English.

You can try the route planner without an account.

What iBus does

Anyone can plan a trip. The rest opens after you sign in with Google or an e-mail code.

Plan

  • Route planner

    Tell iBus where you start and where you're going: it finds buses, trains and transfers and checks the options against service changes.

    Without an account - a few minutes to try

  • Favorites

    Save the stops and lines you use. They're on your home screen on every device you sign in on.

    After signing in

At the stop and on the way

  • Arrivals

    Find a stop by its name or the number on its sign and see when the bus comes. A forecast is marked apart from the timetable.

    After signing in

  • Notifications

    Follow a bus from the board: iBus tells you when it's time to leave, when the bus is near and when your stop is coming up.

    After signing in

When something changes

  • Service changes

    Announcements for your lines, with dates and details. iBus does not recalculate detours.

    After signing in

  • Lior

    The assistant inside iBus: ask in plain words about a stop, a line, a timetable or a route.

    After signing in

  • Support

    Write to us from your account. The answer arrives in iBus, and all your requests are under “My requests”.

Getting started

  1. Open iBus

    In the browser on your phone or computer. There is nothing to download.

  2. Plan a trip

    Enter where you start and where you're going. Without an account you can try it for a few minutes.

  3. Sign in

    With Google or an e-mail code, to see arrivals, save stops and get notifications.

  4. Add it to your home screen

    Then iBus opens like an app, in its own window. How to install

Who makes iBus and where the data comes from

An independent project
iBus is an independent project and not an official app of the Ministry of Transport.
Data
Timetables and real-time data are the open data of Israel's Ministry of Transport. Maps and addresses come from OpenStreetMap and OpenFreeMap.
Limits
A forecast is not a promise: a bus can come earlier or later. When there is no real-time data, iBus shows the timetable and says so.
Privacy
iBus asks for your location only when you tap for it. You can delete your account in its settings.

Try it on your next trip

Open iBus in the browser and plan a route. You can install it later.
