## What is Durakta?

Dozed off on the bus and looked up to find your stop long gone? Never again with Durakta.

Pick your line and your stop, start tracking and put your phone in your pocket. As you get close, Durakta alerts you with an alarm, vibration and a notification.

How It Works
1. Choose a bus, metrobus or tram line
2. Pick your direction
3. Select the stop where you'll get off
4. Start tracking and let the alarm ring as you get close

Features
• Arrival alarm: Alarm, vibration and notification one stop before, or about 300 m before, your stop
• Live tracking: Distance, stops left and the next stop in real time
• Lock Screen: Distance left on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones; turn off the alarm without opening the app
• Wrong-way alert: Warns you in the app and on your Lock Screen if you're heading away from your stop
• Stops near me: The İETT stops closest to you and the buses heading there, with arrival times
• Bus map: Follow any bus with a live location on the map as it approaches your stop
• Widgets: Start a saved trip or group, search lines or open nearby stops from your Home Screen, in light and dark
• Favorites and groups: Save trips you take often; group trips with transfers and they're tracked in order
• When does the bus arrive?: Estimated arrival times for buses approaching your stop
• Departure times: Weekday, Saturday and Sunday timetables with the next departure highlighted
• Line announcements: Route changes and cancelled trips one tap away
• Works in the background: Tracking continues while your phone is locked or you're in another app
• Alarm sound: Classic or funny
• Dark and light themes, Turkish and English

Supported Lines
• İETT bus lines
• Metrobus lines
• T1, T3, T4 and T5 tram lines

Privacy
No sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Your location is processed only on your phone, and only when you use features that need it. No location history is created, and your location is never sent to our servers or shared with third parties.

Good to Know
• To get alerts while your phone is locked, set location access to "Always".
• Continued use of GPS in the background can reduce battery life. Tracking only runs when you start it and ends when you arrive.
• Live data comes from the public services of İETT and Metro İstanbul; it may be delayed, incomplete or wrong.
• Durakta is developed independently and is not developed, endorsed or officially approved by İETT or Metro İstanbul.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-24

We fixed an issue where bus and metrobus information failed to load due to changes in IETT services. This version also includes various bug fixes and performance improvements. Thanks for using Durakta!

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-21

With this update, Durakta also shows the stops near you. See the İETT stops closest to you and the buses heading there, with arrival times. Tap a bus to follow it live on the map as it approaches your stop.

You no longer even need to open the app to start a trip. Add the Durakta widgets to your Home Screen to start a saved trip or group in one tap, search lines or open nearby stops. The widgets adapt to light and dark mode.

If you head the wrong way, the alert now also appears on your Lock Screen. We've also refreshed the design: screens are simpler and easier to read, and tram line names are spelled correctly in every language. Thanks for using Durakta!

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-14

With this update, Durakta has a whole new look and now works on the metrobus too. The map fills the screen, and choosing your line, your stop and tracking your ride all happen in a single panel. You can set an alarm on metrobus lines as well as buses and trams.

Trips you take often are now just a tap away. Save them to your favorites with the star and start them right from the home screen. If you change lines on the way, group your trips and they'll be tracked one after another. You can also just say "Start a trip in Durakta" to Siri. When your stop is coming up, you can turn off the alarm right from your Lock Screen without opening the app.

While tracking, you now see the next stop and how many stops are left at a glance. The stop list shows the stop closest to you and how far it is, and line announcements are tucked behind the bell next to the line name. If there's a connection problem, we tell you what's wrong and let you try again. We've also updated our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Thanks for using Durakta!

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-10

With this update, following your ride and waiting for your bus is much easier. You can now see how far you are from your stop right on your Lock Screen, without unlocking your phone.

You'll also see much more accurately when your bus will arrive. Only buses heading your way are counted now, and when there's no bus on the road, we show the next departure and when you'll reach your stop. You can see which stops have buses in the stop list, and the new timetable page lets you check weekday, Saturday and Sunday departures and spot the next one right away.

The tracking card now shows remaining stops and distance together. We've given the launch screen a fresh new look, improved notifications and made the whole design easier to read. You can also find us on Instagram and TikTok. Thanks for using Durakta!
