## What is FastStation?

FastStation is a free train, subway and transit app for iPhone and iPad. Open it to see nearby stations, upcoming departures and how long it takes to walk there.

Know when to leave
See live arrivals where the operator provides them, with scheduled departures clearly marked. Pin your everyday stops, check service alerts and filter transport modes on supported networks.

Plan the whole trip
Compare routes by arrival time, transfers and walking. Choose when to depart or arrive, see each stop and change, and follow your journey with Live Activities on the Lock Screen. Trip planning covers 143 networks, with trains, trams, buses and ferries where supported. Coverage varies by city.

Explore the network
Browse station and line maps across cities including New York, Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Sydney and Tokyo. London, Dublin and Hong Kong have departure boards but no on-device trip planning.

New in 3.38
Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Tampere, Riga, Brno, Caen, Mulhouse, Tours and Valenciennes join FastStation. All ten include maps and trip planning. Calgary and Tampere offer live arrivals; the other eight show scheduled departures. Vancouver includes SkyTrain and West Coast Express.

Route calculation on your device
Downloaded timetables let FastStation calculate routes on your device. Address search uses Apple Maps. Trip details are sent to FastStation only when you choose to report an issue with a trip. Live arrivals, address search and data downloads require an internet connection.

Free to use. No account needed. Requires iOS 26.0 or iPadOS 26.0 or later. See faststation.app for coverage and data sources.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.38 — 2026-11-03

New cities: Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Tampere, Riga, Brno, Caen, Mulhouse, Tours, Valenciennes.

Each includes maps and trip planning. Live arrivals in Calgary and Tampere; scheduled departures in the other eight networks.

### 3.37 — 2026-11-02

Reliability improvements.

### 3.36 — 2026-10-30

Nine new cities

Departures and trip planning now cover Charlotte, Tri-Rail in South Florida, Utrecht, Trondheim, and the Takaoka and Toyama trams in Japan. Bergen's Bybanen, Szeged's trams and the Lisbon Metro join with timetable times, marked as scheduled, since they publish no live data we can use.

Plus reliability fixes.

### 3.35 — 2026-10-26

Five new cities

Departures and trip planning now cover Baltimore's Light RailLink and Metro SubwayLink, İzmir, Konya and Gaziantep in Turkey and the Hakodate City Tram in Japan, and Seattle adds its streetcars. The Turkish networks publish no live times, so their departures come from the timetable and are marked as scheduled.

Station signs now use simpler shapes throughout, and Settings links the new Terms of Use.

Plus reliability fixes.

### 3.34 — 2026-10-25

Nine new cities

Departures and trip planning now cover Seattle (Link light rail and Sounder) and Cleveland (the Rapid); Lausanne (the metro and the LEB); Avignon, Rouen and Besançon; and Málaga, Alicante and Murcia, with Renfe's Cercanías in Málaga and Alicante. Each city gets its own station sign. Where a network publishes no live times, as for Málaga's metro, the Alicante, Murcia and Besançon trams and Lausanne's m2, departures come from the timetable and are marked as scheduled.

Plus reliability fixes.
