Public transport in Lithuania: bus timetables, stops and routes

Bus timetables: what a stop card shows

• The next departures of each route: “in 4 min”, then the time, “tomorrow 05:12”. Routes are shown in the operator’s colours.
• A big number for the next bus, for example “7 min”.
• The full-day timetable by hour for any day in the next two weeks.
• Tap a trip to see all its stops with times, where the bus is now (if it sends its location) and the route along the streets on the map.
• One button to switch direction: both sides of the street in one card.
• A filter: “All | Buses | Trolleybuses”.

Stops cover both city and intercity routes. You can find a stop by name in the map search.

Stops and routes in the largest cities

In the city municipality, stops with at least one trip in two weeks:

• Vilnius: 1,552 stops, 352 routes (real time).
• Kaunas: 876 stops, 259 routes (real time).
• Klaipėda: 378 stops, 101 routes (real time).
• Panevėžys: 248 stops, 99 routes (timetable).
• Alytus: 184 stops, 78 routes (timetable).

Live buses and trolleybuses: Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda

In these three cities every vehicle is on the map with its route number and colour. The position is updated every 15 seconds, with about 900 buses and trolleybuses on the map at a time. Vehicles 3 minutes late or more have an amber border.

Tap a bus to see its route, direction, “3 min late” or “on time”, and when it will reach each of the next stops. In the stop card that bus’s departure is adjusted for its delay (green with a dot); the others follow the timetable.

• Vilnius buses and trolleybuses live
• Kaunas buses and trolleybuses live
• Klaipėda buses live

In other towns and on intercity routes the app shows the timetable, and the card says so: “Timetable, not real time”.

All routes of a city or district

The “Routes” button on the map lists routes in three groups: “Cities” (Vilnius, Kaunas and others), “Districts” and “Other” (intercity, the Smiltynė ferry). “My location” picks the city you are in.

Pick a route to see its directions, for example “Povilo Lukšio st. → Pasakų parkas”, every stop with minutes from the start and a “Show on map” button. On a computer the list opens in a side panel next to the map.

How to get there by bus: the trip planner

Choose a destination in “Where would you like to go?”. The planner looks for a way from your location or a place you enter, by bus, trolleybus or ferry, leaving now, and offers up to 5 options:

• how far to walk and which routes to take;
• when to leave, for example “Leave in 5 min · 16:09–16:39”;
• where and when to board;
• transfers with the waiting time.

If walking is faster, the planner does not suggest a bus. The phone itself calculates the route, not a server, so the answer is quick. Every place card in Lithuania has a “How to get there by bus” button.

Bus timetables offline

A stop’s timetable stays on the phone for two weeks after you open it. If you lose signal on the road or in the countryside, you still see the departure times. Live bus positions need the internet.

Police and ticket inspectors: marked by people

In the “Police and inspections (marked by people)” layer people mark police, speed checks and ticket inspectors with the “+” button, and others vote. A mark stays while the votes support it, for 3 hours at most. Who marked or voted is not shown. There are no phone notifications about these marks.

What the app does not show

• Trains: their timetables are not in the app.
• Real time outside Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda: elsewhere you see the timetable.
• Delays in the trip planner: it uses the timetable.
• Exact walking time: it is approximate (marked “~”) and measured in a straight line, not along streets.
• Tickets: InCaseMap does not sell them.
