Real-time Bus Tracking

The smart way to travel

Oakville Transit’s real-time bus tracking tools use GPS technology to pinpoint the exact location of your bus and when it will arrive at your stop. Real-time bus tracking is a feature of Oakville Transit’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) designed to make riding the bus easier and more accessible for everyone.

Please note: estimated arrival times are only available for buses arriving within 30 minutes.
