Another app I had on iphone was called move it.  No idea if it's
available on android and it had information for much of the United

When you are on the bus, you can select a destination and it will alert you when you are getting close. It may do other things as well, but I haven't been on a bus for a while, so am not up-to-date on the latest changes.
