Auto-detects which Brightline train you're on the moment you open the app, then rides with you on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island for the whole journey. • Auto-detect — board your train, open the app, confirm. That's the whole setup. • Live progress strip — every station shown at its real distance, with your position interpolated between them. • Live Activity — Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show next-stop ETA, trip-end countdown, and live position. No need to unlock to check. • In-app map — full route, every station, and where your train is right now. • Honest data — a bolt badge marks ETAs from the live feed; a wave badge marks values estimated from typical travel times. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Brightline Trains Florida LLC. Train position data comes from Brightline's public GTFS-Realtime feed. If you can't board a train to try the app, tap "Try demo trip" on the home screen.
