As a community-based traffic and navigation app, Waze was created as a social navigation tool for private cars. Because of that, we don't currently support navigating in lanes dedicated to public transportation, bicycles or trucks.

No, Waze does not currently have a dedicated "bus mode" or public transit navigation feature. Waze is primarily designed as a crowdsourced social navigation app for private passenger vehicles (cars, SUVs, and motorcycles). Because Waze's routing algorithms are built to find the "fastest" route by suggesting side streets, illegal turns for buses, or narrow residential shortcuts, it is not suitable for bus drivers or passengers looking for transit times. For bus passengers, apps like Google Maps, Citymapper, or Moovit are much better choices, as they integrate real-time GPS data from transit authorities, show bus stop locations, and provide walking directions to the nearest station. For bus drivers, using Waze can be dangerous as the app does not account for vehicle height restrictions, weight limits, or "no-bus" zones. While some bus drivers use it informally to see where traffic jams are located, they must still follow their fixed official routes, meaning Waze's primary feature—dynamic rerouting—is effectively useless for them.
