The buses, live
We show every bus live, with its GPS position and line number. And if the company shares it, you can see whether it’s running early or late.
How long until it reaches your stop
Tap your stop to see which lines are coming and in how many minutes. If you can’t make this one, check when the next one is due.
Times are approximate and can be off by a couple of minutes.
Every line, on its own page
Pick your line and see where the bus is and how long until it reaches your stop. Try it below.

Garita UY is accessible.
If you can’t see the screen well, if reading is hard, if tapping something tiny is a hassle or if too much movement overwhelms you, Garita adapts to you. Pick a profile and the app changes.
- See it biggerBigger text, more contrast and bigger buses on the map.
- Screen readerWorks with VoiceOver and TalkBack. We announce your stop’s arrivals when they change.
- I need a rampWe highlight the buses with a ramp and dim the rest.
- Easier to tapBigger, more spaced-out buttons, so you hit the right one even when your hand isn’t steady.
- I’d rather listenA button to hear each arrival out loud, and bigger text.
- Calm screenNo animations, soft colors and fewer changes. For when everything at once is too much.
We designed it for people with visual impairments, dyslexia, autism or reduced mobility, and for anyone who someday needs it simpler.
How we made it accessibleDoes it cost anything?
No. It’s free, has no ads and doesn’t ask you to create an account.
Which cities does it cover?
Maldonado, Montevideo, Canelones, San José, Rivera, Colonia and Rocha, plus the buses leaving Tres Cruces for other departments.
Does it work in Punta del Este and San Carlos?
Yes. Between Maldonado’s four companies it also reaches Piriápolis, Pan de Azúcar and the beach towns: Punta Ballena, Solanas, Ocean Park, La Barra, Manantiales and José Ignacio.
Are the minutes exact?
No, they’re approximate and can be off by a couple of minutes. They update by themselves while you watch. Garita is in beta and still being fine-tuned.
What if a company stops sending locations?
We tell you. If a company stops sending where its buses are, within a few minutes we take them off the map and show a notice. We never show you a bus when we don’t know where it is.
What does “Arriving” mean?
That the bus is less than a minute away from your stop.
Will it let me know when my bus is close?
Yes. At your stop, tap “Let me know” on the line you’re waiting for and you’ll get a notification when it’s near.
Do I need to install it?
No. It opens in your phone or computer browser. If you like, add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
What about my location?
It’s only requested if you tap “Where am I”, to show you the closest stop.
Where does the data come from?
From what each company publishes about its buses and routes. The map is from OpenStreetMap and CARTO.
Does it work with VoiceOver and TalkBack?
Yes. And it has six profiles to make it easier to use: see it bigger, screen reader, I need a ramp, easier to tap, I’d rather listen and calm screen.
What do I do if something’s wrong?
Tap the bus and then “Let us know when something’s wrong”, or write to us at hola@garita.uy.
Where’s yours right now?
Maldonado, Montevideo, Canelones, San José, Rivera, Colonia and Rocha, plus the buses between departments. Free, nothing to install.
