# NextBus

> NextBus is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 13 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

NextBus is a built-in integration that reports public transit arrival information in Home Assistant. It adds sensors tied to a chosen stop on a chosen route. Setup is done in the UI, where the metro agency, route and stop are picked in turn. The data comes from the vendor's cloud, so an internet connection is needed. Nothing extra has to be installed, since it ships with Home Assistant.
