WelliBUS
WelliBUS is your Wellington travel companion.
Find stops nearby (GPS) or search for any stop/route in the region. WelliBUS includes timetable information for:
- buses
- trains
- the cable car
- the ferry
- and other services (e.g. The Naked Bus) that stop in Wellington
All the timetable information is bundled with the application so you can use it on your iPod Touch as well as on your iPhone.
WelliBUS enables you to:
- find services departing from a particular stop or street
- find the nearest stops/platforms (using the built in GPS) or by typing the name your the street
- filter services by time or bus number
- OFFLINE use, iPod Touch users can now use it as a pocket timetable
- use the nearby stop overlay map, with more data to come
- save favourites and aliases
- get directions between any two addresses (uses Google Maps to display direction and navigation information)
- use the built-in feature suggestion
Whereas WelliBUS 1 used to connect to a web server to pull all its data, WelliBUS 2 now comes with a bundled database. This means that you iPod Touch users as well as iPhone owners can find relevant timetable information regardless of their coverage.

WelliBUS 2:
Update:
In order to add more features to the application I need to find the time for it. I have received a suggestion to allow donations via PayPal or something similar. I have decided not to do this though. So, if you like the application and want to donate some funds I invite you to purchase 1 or more of my commercial applications instead. They are all available here.

Nice update – like the change in UI!

Cheers Miki
Will you be making it available to itouch generation one devices? The current version won’t install due to no microphone. Would love to use it if I could get it to install.
Hi Duncan,
The latest WelliBUS update should enable the application for 1st gen iPod touches.
Cheers…
A very useful App. I like the favourites, but I would like to be able to store the buses I select. e.g. I often catch the bus from stop 5010 – Cable Car on Lambton Quay. Out of the 40+ buses offered I am only interested in 4 of them.
Thanks for the comment John.
Version 2.5.1 will bring the feature you are after. The implementation is done and the application is now being tested.
Cheers…
