About Libre BusTO

Libre BusTO, or simply BusTO, is your Android app that gives you arrival times for all public transport in Turin and its outskirts. Type in the number of the bus stop and get all the information about scheduled and real arrival times of every 5T/GTT's vehicle stopping there.

Some features:

  • Simple interface
  • Search by number
  • Search by name
  • Position suggestions
  • Save favorite stops

And not obviously:

  • No binary blob files
  • No tracking
  • No ads
  • Fairly light

Do not confuse this app with other proprietary software made by some other people.

How to download BusTO

We actually distribute the app only from F-Droid because the maintainer has not the Play Store.

Just download F-Droid and then search "BusTO", or download the apk from here:

https://f-droid.org/packages/it.reyboz.bustorino/

How to meet BusTO developers

We try to meet us in person, each Wednesday, at the Officina Informatica Libera, in Torino, at 18:45.

We have a Telegram development group:

  3. Run arc diff inside the project directory
  4. Read the instructions

Done!

Or instead, if you are lazy:

  1. Do some small changes
  2. Do a commits
  3. Generate a patch with git format-patch master --stdout > my-patch.patch
  4. Upload your file my-patch.patch here: https://gitpull.it/differential/diff/create/

Done!

We love small commits with small changes!
