See what's running – before you search. Most transit apps start by asking: From where? To where? When? Transportflow flips this around. Open the app, and you immediately see the nearest stops around you, the next departures, and the transit network in your area. One tap is enough to see details. For all those moments when you just want to know what's running right now. Or what actually runs through this street. Or how far you can get in the next half hour. Departures nearby When you open the app, you see stops around you on the map and as a list. One tap shows all departures including delays, where the transit authority provides them. Network map with vehicle positions See the transit network around you directly on the map. Line routes are estimated from stop sequences, and vehicle positions are interpolated from schedule and delay data, because many transit authorities don't provide precise GPS data. Pro: line names and vehicle labels. Isochrone radar How far can you get in 30 minutes by bus and train? The radar shows you as a colored area on the map – useful when looking for an apartment, picking a restaurant, or simply to understand your city better. Pro: free starting point and freely selectable travel time. Line search Search for a specific line – "U8", "S1", "FlixBus" – and see its full route. Pro feature. Route planning, when you need it Classic journey planning is still there: fastest, most comfortable, or fewest-transfers route, with full details and trip breakdown. Across networks, across borders Metro, tram, regional and long-distance transit in one app. Works in your home city just as well as when traveling – without having to download a different app for every new destination. Privacy by design All essential connections run through our own servers in Germany. No third-party maps, no Google Maps, no tracking. Favorites and settings stay exclusively on your device. Transportflow Pro The optional Pro subscription extends the app with: labeled network map, line search, isochrone radar with free starting point, more favorites and extended search history.
