C'è un sito o un'app per gli orari?

Is there a website or app for the timetables?

Pronunciation

'App' is borrowed from English and pronounced 'app' (rhymes with 'cap'). 'Orari' — 'o-RA-ri'.

When to use it

Ask a local or the driver to get the official digital resource for real-time bus information in that city.

What it means

'C'è' means 'is there'. 'Un sito' is a website. 'Un'app' is an app (feminine in Italian: 'l'app'). 'Orari' means timetables. Most Italian cities have both a transport authority website and a dedicated app.
