Read full description

Shows upcoming departures at nearby stops for trams, buses, trains and boats in Sweden. Start the app, and the closest stop (or a favorite stop), and the times that are remaining to upcoming departures are shown immediately, without pushing any buttons. Other stops in the vicinity can be shown by scrolling sideways. Or, add the Nästa vagn widget to the Today view in Notification Center, and see the closest or favorite stop without starting the app, or even unlocking the device. You can also add notifications for upcoming departures, so that it keeps track of the time (including any changes in expected departure time, when real time information is available) and notifies you until the departure. The information is retrieved from Västtrafik's, Skånetrafiken's, Storstockholms Lokaltrafik’s or Samtrafiken’s systems, and, when possible, real time information is shown based on the vehicle positions, otherwise times corresponding to time tables are shown.
