Buses live - drivers catch buses too
Use the facility that you have but simply add the bus number that you are on. People can then see wherever their next bus is (live input from WAZE users) or see where the alternatives are. Set up simple: Which city are you in? e.g. Brisbane Australia (stays as the default location setting). Have a button for Buses (a BAZE button). What bus are you on? 180 - and that's it. You may make it that at least 3 people need to enter the number to be valid and it would be good to drop people off if the bus hasn't moved for say 3 minutes or they get a pop up "You aren't moving fast on this bus, if you are in a traffic jam, press "I know! We are stuck in traffic." If not pressed then they have forgotten to clock off - Having 3 or more people as a requirement for it to register may prevent false readings. Thanks for listening. I would LOVE this feature. I have heaps of choices with buses but it is the transfer that often holds me up. We have live plane tracking apps, let's get our users to contribute to live bus tracking.

I would love to have buses integrated into Waze. I know that many passengers use Waze--I hear them. I do myself. But a "bus button" would be good because it would know the route in advance (instead of insisting I should travel a way the bus simply will not go) and it would take into account regular stops. I don't drive. I carpool or ride buses. Waze with a bus feature would be fantastic.

Try Citymapper. Already has all you are asking for, covers many cities around the world. Has a pre-requisite that the city has a existing data feed for buses/metro/trains.

Had the exact same idea. Users should get extra points while on a bus.
