🚌 Parody · Entertainment only

Always running late.
Never just running.

The bus app that tells you exactly what you already feared. Absurd arrival times, seats you can chope with a tissue packet, and a "live" map where the bus drives into the sea.

v3.0 · still loading since 2019

> Triangulating your disappointment…   ●   Asking the uncle…   ●   Downloading more buses…   ●   Recalculating (badly)…   ●   Bribing the bus captain…   ●   Generating false hope…   ●   Waiting for 88. Still waiting…   ●   Consulting the void…   ●

The Features (the gags)

Five tabs. Zero buses.

Everything works beautifully. Nothing works the way you'd want.

🕐

Arrivals board

Live, chaotic countdowns. Negative minutes, 420m, "soon™", "napping". All three of the 88 arrive together — as a treat.

🗺️

Live Map™

A hand-painted map (no Google Maps, no API key) with a wandering bus. Recalculating… into the sea 🌊. Driver stopped for kaya toast.

🧻

Chope a seat

Tap empty seats to reserve them with a tissue packet, lah. Random aunties steal your seat over time. As tradition demands.

🔖

Saved stops

Save the routes you love most. "Saved 3 years ago. Still hoping." A monument to your optimism.

🔔

Prank notifications

Local-only funny alerts. "Someone choped your seat with a tissue 🧻." "The bus is now a boat. Please bring floaties."

🏳️

Give Up

The only honest button in the app. Confirm you've given up and receive your certificate of inner peace. Walk home (47 min).

Live arrivals (allegedly)

Real-time disappointment

A faithful preview of the board. Timings are fictional and intentionally inaccurate.
