## What is Departly?

Departly plans your whole journey across Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore — bus, minibus, heavy rail, Light Rail, tram and ferry — in one app, and tells you when to get off.

Stop juggling five operator apps. Enter where you are and where you're going, and Departly works out the fastest combination, the transfers, the walk at each end, and the fare for every leg.

PLAN DOOR TO DOOR
• Every mode in one search: franchised buses, New Lantau Bus, green minibuses, heavy rail, Light Rail, trams and ferries
• Real transfers, real walking distances, and the fare for each leg and for the whole trip
• Step-free and accessible routing — free for everyone, always
• Save the journeys you make most and reopen them with live departures in one tap

LIVE ARRIVALS FOR EVERY MODE
• Real-time arrivals for buses, minibuses, rail and Light Rail, refreshed automatically
• The next several departures at each stop, not just one — miss this bus and you still know when the next one comes
• Nearby stops and stations with a live departure board
• Where there is no live prediction, Departly shows the scheduled frequency or first bus rather than inventing a time

GET OFF AT THE RIGHT STOP
Set a reminder before you board, then stop watching the window. Departly alerts you as you approach your stop — with the screen locked, and underground where there is no GPS.

FARES YOU CAN TRUST
See what each leg costs and what the whole trip costs before you go. Choose Adult, Child, Elderly or Student once, with official rail concessions built in. Where an operator does not publish a fare, Departly says so instead of guessing.

MACAU AND THE HONG KONG–MACAU CROSSING
Plan across Macau's bus network, and straight through from Hong Kong by bridge shuttle or ferry. Macau and cross-border planning require Departly Pro or the one-off 7-day Macau Tourist Pass. Everything listed above is free.

ALSO IN THE APP
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities, and an Apple Watch app
• Leave-Now alarms for the trips you make on a schedule
• Weather-safe routing that favours shelter when it rains
• Taxi fare estimates, to compare against public transport
• Service status and typhoon arrangements
• Offline search for routes, stops and places
• English, 繁體中文 and 简体中文

DEPARTLY PRO
Departly's core is free and stays free: journey planning, live arrivals, nearby boards, the get-off reminder and step-free routing are never behind a paywall. Departly Pro (a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription) removes ads and unlocks unlimited saved journeys and favourites, widgets and the Watch app, Live Transfer Guard, Leave-Now alarms, weather-safe routing, and Macau. Free users can also earn or buy tokens to unlock individual features without subscribing.

Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically at the price shown unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Departly uses public open data from DATA.GOV.HK and from DSAT (Macau). Departly is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any transport operator, the Government of the HKSAR, or the Macao SAR Government.

SINGAPORE
Plan door to door across the MRT, LRT and every public bus service. Live bus arrivals come straight from LTA, with crowding and wheelchair-accessible vehicles shown where the operator publishes them. Train times are the published timetable — Singapore does not release live train arrivals, and Departly says so rather than guessing. Fares follow the PTC distance bands, including transfers, express services and concessions.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-21

Singapore, fixed.

Live bus arrivals from LTA now work — they were unavailable in 2.0.

Better routes: the planner was unfairly ranking MRT and LRT journeys below buses, and treated many bus services as though they never ran. Trains and trunk routes now appear where they should.

Fares: Singapore journeys now show a real fare, priced across the whole trip including transfers and express.

Get-off reminders are more reliable: they can now break through Focus and Sleep, they ignore an inaccurate GPS fix instead of alarming early, journeys ending on the MTR use the clock rather than a signal you don't have underground, and a rail-to-rail change no longer stops the destination alarm being set.

Also fixed: Pro could look inactive when you opened the app offline, and the widget and Watch could show an arrival time that had long passed.

### 2.0 — 2026-08-20

Singapore is here.

Plan door to door across the MRT, LRT and every public bus service, with live bus arrivals straight from LTA — including crowding and wheelchair-accessible vehicles where the operator publishes them. Train times come from the published timetable; Singapore doesn't release live train arrivals, and Departly says so rather than guessing.

Also new: fares follow the PTC distance bands including transfers, express services and concessions; a rail board with first and last trains; and bus service lookup by number.

Hong Kong and Macau are unchanged.

### 1.9 — 2026-08-11

• Macau and the Hong Kong–Macau crossing are now front and centre — plan straight through by bridge shuttle or ferry. Macau and cross-border planning need Departly Pro or the 7-day Macau Tourist Pass.
• Restoring purchases now tells you when it couldn't reach the App Store, instead of reporting that you have no subscription.
• Clearer subscription details, including the free trial, before you buy.
• Refreshed route, stop, schedule and fare data across every operator.

### 1.8.1 — 2026-08-07

• Refreshed route, stop, schedule and fare data across every operator — buses, green minibuses, heavy rail, Light Rail, trams and ferries. Includes the Citybus 49X and 8H terminus rename to Chai Wan (East), and route 264R becoming 264X.
• Reliability: Departly now rejects an incomplete transit-data update and keeps using its last known-good copy, so routes, stops and stations can't silently go missing.

### 1.8 — 2026-07-24

NEW in 1.8:
• Macau — plan bus trips across Macau (Macau Tourist Pass), alongside Hong Kong.
• Ferries are now built into door-to-door journeys.
• Step-free routing — lift-only, accessible paths for wheelchairs and strollers (free).
• Service health — disruption alerts matched to your route, plus a typhoon board.
• GO — one-tap guided trips with a Live Activity and a smart get-off reminder.
• MTR platform and nearest-exit hints on rail legs.
• iPad — a redesigned layout that adapts to Split View and Stage Manager.
Plus refinements and fixes throughout.
