[[Transport for NSW]] worked with several developers in late 2012 to create, and release smartphone applications with access to the real-time bus data provided from PTIPS. Released in December, several [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] apps went live on their respective App Stores, allowing customers to track where their buses were in real-time, as well as any delays or timetable changes as they occur. In 2013, this real-time data was further expanded to provide live information from [[Sydney Trains]], and private bus operators [[Hillsbus]] and [[Busways]] Blacktown, and was eventually rolled out across bus operators in Greater Sydney.

In 2020, Transport started working with bus operators to introduce real-time tracking to regional bus services.<ref>{{Cite web |last=NSW |first=Transport for |date=2020-07-23 |title=Real-time bus tracking new reality for regional NSW |url=https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/node/11138 |access-date=2022-04-23 |website=www.transport.nsw.gov.au |language=en-AU}}</ref>.
