Departiq

Departiq shows you when the next bus, train, tram or ferry departs from the stops closest to you — in real time. Open the app and the departures are already there. No searching, no setup, no account. Just the answer to the only question that matters when you are standing at the stop: will I make it? REAL-TIME DEPARTURES The app uses your location to find the stops around you and counts down the minutes to each departure. Times update automatically, so what you see is what is actually running right now — not a printed timetable. EVERY OPERATOR, NOT JUST THE LOCAL ONE Departiq shows everything that departs from a stop, whoever runs it. Local buses, metro and commuter trains alongside airport coaches, long-distance trains and express services. One list instead of one app per operator. MAPS, ROUTES AND THE FULL LINE Not sure where the stop actually is? Open the map and see it, along with your own position and the walking route there. Want to know where the line goes? See the full route from beginning to end, with every stop along the way. Journeys can be shown on a map too — the whole trip or a single leg, so you can see exactly where you are going. SEARCH ANY STOP Want to check a stop you are not standing at? Type the name and it appears instantly. Save the ones you use often as favourites and they are always one tap away. FILTER BY DIRECTION At a busy stop, most departures are going the wrong way. Filter by direction and see only the ones heading where you are going. The filter is saved for that stop, so your morning commute looks the same tomorrow. SERVICE DISRUPTIONS When something is wrong on your line, it is shown right at the stop. No disruption, no clutter — the information appears only when it matters. JOURNEY PLANNING FROM A TO B Need to get somewhere specific? Plan a trip between two places and see connections with departure times, arrival times, changes and walking legs. Pick your start and destination by tapping the map, or use your current location as either end of the trip. Looking for a walking or cycling route instead? That is an option too. WORKS IN SWEDEN AND NORWAY Most transit apps stop at the border. Departiq does not. The same app works whether you are commuting at home in Stockholm, changing trains in Oslo, or catching a ferry along the Norwegian coast. Plan a trip that crosses the border and both countries are handled in a single search. Simple and focused. Departiq does one thing really well: showing you the next departure as quickly and clearly as possible. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no cluttered menus — just the information you need, when you need it.
