## What is Rail Six?

Rail Six is a free, real-time GO Transit tracker built for GTHA commuters. Save your regular commute once and open
  the app to a live countdown to your next train or bus — no account, no ads, nothing to sign up for.

  Your commute lives on your device. Set your service type, origin, destination, and return trip in a quick setup
  wizard, and the live board does the rest.

  YOUR COMMUTE, AT A GLANCE
  • A live countdown to your next departure, updated in real time
  • Clear status at every stage: WAIT, BOARDING, ON TIME, DELAYED, DEPARTED, or CANCELLED
  • A two-position toggle to switch direction, so you always see the right trains coming and going
  • Follow-up departures, so you know your next option if you miss one
  • Platform numbers from Metrolinx (published 10–20 minutes before departure at Union Station) and bus bay numbers

  LIVE ALERTS
  • Relevant service alerts surface right on your commute board
  • Refreshed every 30 seconds straight from the GO Transit feed
  • Tap any alert for the full details

  ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY
  • Live Activities put your countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
  • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget keeps your next departure in view
  • StandBy support turns your phone into a bedside departure board while charging
  • Ask Siri or use Shortcuts for your next departure, and jump straight to a station from Spotlight

  EXPLORE THE NETWORK
  • Browse every GO line with a live map of trains in motion
  • Look up departures for any station
  • Bus terminal information and bay numbers
  • Fare lookup between stations

  MADE TO FEEL RIGHT
  • Dark and light themes
  • Choose a classic flip-board or a modern list style
  • Designed for iPhone and iPad, with full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support

  Rail Six keeps the data you need to catch your train one glance away — fast, private, and free.
