MiniBusGo case study cover — Hong Kong green minibus app: live GMB arrivals for Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.
Stop enamel

Overview

MiniBusGo is a mobile-first Hong Kong green minibus app: search a route number, pick a stop, and watch official Transport Department ETAs for the next few GMBs. Covers Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. Red minibuses are marked as unavailable — no invented times. Installable as a PWA.

Context

Green minibuses fill gaps that franchised buses miss, but arrivals are hard to trust at the stop. Commuters need official next-bus times — not guessed headways — and a clear line that red minibuses have no public live API.

Approach

The UI is a night transit sheet: route-number search across HKI / KLN / NT, direction and stop spine, then the next few official ETAs. The browser reads the Transport Department GMB ETA API on DATA.GOV.HK (refresh every 60 seconds). A map page pins official stop coordinates and an alighting phrase for the driver. Favourites stay in localStorage.

Result

Open https://minibusgo.beoops.com, search a route such as Hong Kong Island 1, tap a stop, and watch arrivals update. No install required; add to home screen on Android or iOS Safari.
