BusSing
Opening a stop should take you straight to its arrivals. SG Buses, by SG NextBus Pte. Ltd., shows video ads when opening stops in the experience reported by the BusSing maker. The supplied stop screenshot shows a sponsored video with playback controls below the arrivals. That makes its ads the most disruptive of the three competitors compared here, Singabus, SG BusLeh and SG Buses. BusSing has no ads.
Written by the maker of BusSing. Pricing comes from Singapore App Store listings. App behaviour also reflects observations supplied by the maker. This is not an arrival-accuracy benchmark. Features and prices can change.
Video ads interrupt the stop check
All three competitors include ads. SG Buses stands out in the experience reported by the BusSing maker because a video ad can interrupt opening a bus stop, just when you want to see how soon your bus arrives.
BusSing has no banner or video ads, even in the free app. You do not need an Express subscription to check arrivals without ads.
No ad-removal price is listed for SG Buses
The Singapore App Store listing for SG Buses does not show an in-app purchase or an ad-removal price, checked on 11 September 2026. The S$3.98 Pro upgrade belongs to the separate SG NextBus app, not the SG Buses app pictured here.
For comparison, Singabus lists Ads Removal at S$3.98 without a stated billing period. SG BusLeh lists a S$1.48 ad-removal subscription that renews every three months.
Both have ways to follow your next bus
SG Buses lists nearby stops, bookmarked bus services, searches by bus or road, bus locations and routes, and seat and standing capacity. The supplied screenshots show its nearby-stop list, arrival details and map for service 167.
BusSing has Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities, Dynamic Island updates and Apple Watch support. It also has live bus locations, alight reminders and offline MRT route planning.
Choose BusSing if ads get in your way
SG Buses covers nearby stops, bookmarks and route maps if those suit your routine. BusSing gives you an ad-free stop check, plus widgets and Live Activities to keep arrivals visible without reopening the app.
