Passa il bus goes beyond Calabria: Rome and Bari arrive
The same map now also shows the buses of Rome and Bari, with their real GPS position. You pick the area from the menu at the top, on the website and in the apps.

From today Passa il bus is no longer just about Calabria. The same map now also shows the buses of Rome and Bari, with the usual rule: you only see vehicles that really transmit their GPS position, never positions guessed from the timetable.
Rome
In Rome you will find the buses of Atac and of the other operators serving the city: Troiani, BIS, ATR Mobility and Tuscia. At rush hour there are more than a thousand in real time, each with its delay, next stop and route on the road. Trams and the metro do not transmit their position, so they only appear in the stop timetables. The data is the open data of Roma Servizi per la Mobilità.
Bari
In Bari you will find AMTAB’s urban lines, with position, delay and next stops, from the data published by the operator.
How to pick the area
On the map and in the apps there is a menu at the top with Calabria, Rome and Bari. If you have already allowed the app to use your location, the first time it picks the area you are in by itself, and the “Fermate vicino a me” (stops near me) button also switches to the right area. Calabria stays as it was, with all the regional transport operators.
The apps
The update came with version 1.8 for iPhone and iPad on the App Store and with 1.17 for Android on Google Play. If you already have the app, just update it.
As always, Passa il bus is free and needs no account. It is an independent project, not affiliated with Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, AMTAB or any transport operator.
