 In December 2009 , it was announced that following the success of Bustracker , an application had been developed for the iPhone that is similar to the way Bustracker works . It allows people to download an application to their iPhone that enables them to see where their nearest bus stop is and when the bus is due . Although not developed by Lothian Buses or The City of Edinburgh Council , the application has now won the backing of both companies . My Bus Edinburgh is an application developed for the Android platform which is similar in functionality to the iPhone application . Like the iPhone application , this application is developed by an independent developer , backed by Lothian Buses and The City of Edinburgh Council , and is available free of charge .
