Terms of Service

Last updated: 30 June 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your use of BusFit (the “App”), operated by EASYGOAT TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

By downloading, accessing, or using BusFit, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

BusFit is currently provided free of charge. Unless we state otherwise, you are not required to pay to use the App.

1. About BusFit

BusFit is an independent journey planning app currently designed to help users in Wellington, New Zealand compare public transport route options, estimated fares, walking time, walking distance, and possible fare-saving opportunities.

BusFit may provide features such as:

• route search;
• public transport journey options;
• walking guidance;
• estimated fare comparison;
• Walk & Save suggestions;
• Smart Wait suggestions;
• nearby stop or route information;
• navigation-related guidance.

BusFit is not a public transport operator. BusFit does not sell, issue, validate, or manage transport tickets. BusFit is not operated by, endorsed by, or officially affiliated with Metlink, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Google, Apple, or any public transport operator unless explicitly stated.

2. Route, fare, and journey information

BusFit provides route, fare, time, walking, and saving information on an “as is” and “as available” basis for general guidance only. We do not guarantee that:

• route information will always be complete, accurate, or available;
• fare estimates will always match the final fare charged;
• saving estimates will always be achieved;
• public transport times will always be correct;
• walking time or walking distance will always match your actual journey;
• suggested routes will always be the safest, fastest, cheapest, most accessible, or most suitable option;
• public transport services will operate as shown.

The final fare is determined by the relevant transport operator, payment provider, ticketing system, or official fare rules.

Public transport information, fares, timetables, delays, cancellations, service changes, walking conditions, road conditions, and third-party data may change at any time.

You are responsible for checking official transport information, service alerts, fare rules, and real-world conditions before and during your journey.

3. Walk & Save and Smart Wait features

BusFit may suggest journey options that involve walking farther, walking to a different stop, crossing a fare boundary, or waiting for a later service.

These suggestions are estimates only. They are designed to help you compare possible options, not to guarantee a specific fare, saving, arrival time, or journey outcome.

You are responsible for deciding whether a suggested route, walking option, waiting option, transfer, or journey plan is safe, suitable, and appropriate for your circumstances, including weather, traffic, personal safety, accessibility needs, and local conditions.

You should always follow road rules, official signs, public transport instructions, and your own judgment.

4. Safety

Do not use BusFit in a way that distracts you while walking, crossing roads, cycling, driving, using public transport, or moving through public spaces.

You are responsible for your own safety and for complying with applicable laws and local conditions.

BusFit does not guarantee that any suggested walking route, stop, transfer, or waiting location is safe or suitable.

5. Location services

Some features require access to your device location.

You are responsible for enabling or disabling location permissions through your device settings. If location permissions are disabled, some features of BusFit may not work properly.
