## What is Spirka?

Spirka (Bulgarian for "Bus Stop") is a premium, high-fidelity transit companion designed exclusively for the citizens and guests of Varna, Bulgaria. Built with a focus on speed and simplicity, Spirka provides an "instant-on" experience that gives you the information you need the second you open the app.

 Forget complex map-based interfaces. Spirka uses your GPS to automatically identify the nearest station and display live arrivals immediately, ensuring you never miss a connection.

  KEY FEATURES:

   * INSTANT ARRIVALS: No clicks required. Open the app and immediately see live arrival times for the bus stop nearest to you.
   * LIVE TRACKING: Real-time data powered directly by varnatraffic.com. See exactly where your bus is and how many minutes until it arrives.
   * CATCHABILITY INTELLIGENCE: Spirka calculates your estimated walking time to the station and intelligently alerts you if a bus is "Too late to catch" based on your current location.
   * LOCATION-BOUND FAVORITES: Pin your favorite stops to specific locations like "Home," "Work," or "Gym." When you are at those locations, your preferred station automatically jumps to the top of your list.
   * ONBOARD MODE (ACTIVE ROUTE): If you’re already on the bus, switch to a dedicated vertical timeline that tracks your progress, shows past stops, and gives you arrival estimates for the rest of the route.
   * FULL SCHEDULES: Access a complete, filterable timeline of all departures for any station until the end of the day.
   * PREMIUM GLASSMORPHISM: A highly polished, modern UI with smooth transitions, high-contrast visuals, and a premium "glass" aesthetic designed to feel native to iOS.
   * TICKETING INTEGRATION: Quick access to the official Varna ticketing portal so you can secure your ride in seconds.

  PRIVACY & ETHICS:

   * ZERO TRACKING: No accounts, no trackers, and no data collection. Your habits and favorites stay on your device.
   * NO ADS: Spirka is completely free of advertisements and subscriptions.
   * A GIFT TO VARNA: This app is a completely free project developed out of love for the city of Varna.

  Made with Love in Varna, for Varna.
