Why check the schedule in Navigo instead of a PDF
Always the current timetable
Wits updates the official bus schedule every term (exam periods, holidays, route changes). Navigo syncs the moment a new schedule is published, so you're never planning against an outdated PDF.
Live departures, not just a static table
See exactly what's leaving next from the stop nearest you, sorted by walking time — not just a printed time that assumes traffic never happens.
Works with zero signal
The whole timetable and route network live on your phone. Check Wits bus times from a basement lecture hall with no bars — no data connection needed.
Wits bus schedule — frequently asked questions
Where can I find the official Wits bus schedule?
Wits University publishes campus bus schedules as PDFs on wits.ac.za, updated a few times a year around term and exam period changes. Navigo pulls the same underlying timetable data and keeps it current in the app, with live departures on top — no need to hunt down the latest PDF yourself.
How often does the Wits bus schedule change?
It typically changes each term, and again for exam periods and university holidays, when shuttle frequency and routes are adjusted. Navigo re-syncs automatically whenever a new schedule is published, so your app updates without you doing anything.
Is there a live Wits bus tracker?
Navigo shows live vehicle positions where available, matches the bus to its most likely route, and calculates ETAs to your stop based on the bus's own current position and pace — closer to real-time tracking than a fixed timetable.
Does the Wits bus go to Fourways or other off-campus stops?
Coverage depends on the current published route network — the campus shuttle network mainly connects Wits campuses and nearby residences. Check the route list in the Navigo app for the exact stops currently served, since routes are added or adjusted between terms.
Is the Navigo Wits bus app free?
Yes — Navigo is completely free for Wits students, with no ads and nothing to pay for.
