FastStation shows the departures at the stops around you the moment you open it — no menus, no searching, no hunting for your line. Big numbers, real times, and the walk to get there. Plan a whole trip, door to door Type where you're going and get several ways to get there: the fastest, the one with the fewest changes, and the one with the least walking. Routes combine trains, buses and ferries, so you get the answer a rider would actually give you — not just the one mode the app happens to know about. Your trips stay on your phone Route planning runs entirely on your device. Where you're coming from and where you're going are never sent anywhere — not to us, not to anyone. The app downloads a compact map of the network and does the work locally, so it keeps planning even when your signal doesn't. Built for the way you actually travel • Nearby stops sorted by walking distance, with live countdowns • Filter by subway, regional rail or bus • Pin the stops you use every day • Service alerts for the lines you care about • Every stop on each ride, with a strip map of the trip and a card for each change • Follow a trip: a heads-up before each change, on the lock screen too • Plan to arrive by a time • Maps showing the exact path of every leg Where it works Live departures in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Kansas City, the San Francisco Bay Area, London, Dublin, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Hong Kong.
