An app to show bus ETA to the nearest stop quickly

I take the bus to work daily. At least before COVID-19 hit. I could never understand why would any reputable company would put so many ads on their official bus app. Are they so desperate for that little extra revenue?

Terrible UX from CityBus NWFB. An anoying splash screen, then a full page ad, before the app loads.

I just want open the app, and see the ETA of the bus for the stop nearest to me! Luckily CityBus NWFB publish their ETA via API, so I wrote Hong Kong Buses to do just that.
