A redditor has mapped out some of the most important bus routes onto Google Maps. If you use the bus (or ever thought about going on what) you can check the routes out [Here]
KPTC already have a similar thing where they’ve mapped out the routes onto Google Maps as well, the only difference is with the KPTC version you need to go through the routes one by one to see the actual route while with the redditors version all the routes are displayed on the map at the same time and you can just select the one that interests you. Here is a link to the KPTC version. [Link]
CityBus also have their bus routes online but its in Flash (why?) and it’s made to look like a subway map and is just not as easy to understand. You can view that map [Here]
Thanks bluzomby!

Finally someone did it! City bus and kptc does not even have their maps printed, with all the current tough traffic rules and no parking spaces, things like this would encourage people to use the public transport more. I sent emails to city bus so many times to map their bus stops location or atleast bus routes but they dont even bother to reply. How tough it is to tie up with google transit or make their own app.big thanks to whoever did this!!:):):)
KPTC have added their bus routs’ map on their website like a month ago .. And citybus and KJL both follow the same routs .. Yeah I know so many smart options they can adapt to enhance the their transportation service!.. Hopfully there will be positive change in the near future
Thanks for the shout out mate.
Man I’m 30, been living in Kuwait for the majority of that time and have never taken one of the buses. If they did that thing on Google Maps that takes into account bus schedules I would probably try it once just out of curiosity
Still waiting for that metro to come around
A new mobile APP did the same but on Android, it made it easier to search by bus number to view the route or search by area name to see all routes passing through. Yet the map isn’t visible, hope they can add it to the APP. The link is:
