Seven operators run buses in Milton Keynes, and this page shows where their vehicles are right now. The positions come from the Department for Transport's Bus Open Data Service, the live feed the operators themselves broadcast to.
The “scheduled service” line under each route is the timetable the operator has registered, not the live feed. It tells you how often the bus is meant to run, not when the next one will reach your stop.
Eleven routes were withdrawn in spring 2026 and replaced by MK Connect, the council's book-it-when-you-want minibus, which has a page of its own here. Several of the routes that survived changed again at the end of August 2026: the C10 and C11 gave way to a revised C1 and new C2 and C3, the X15 stopped running, and the X6 now goes down Saxon Street to Bletchley rather than through Stony Stratford.
Live positions updated . The feed refreshes about once a minute.
