Omat Pysäkit gets you around — in the two ways you actually travel. When you know the way: a live departure board for your own stops and lines, on the board, the widget and your watch. One glance instead of a search — HSL, every Waltti city (Tampere, Turku, Oulu and more) and VR trains, all of Finland. When you only know the destination: tap a saved place, pick a route, and the app tells you when to leave, walks you to the stop, names the line and says when to get off — leg by leg, all the way home. WHY OMAT PYSÄKIT • A live departure board for the stops you actually use • A route home from anywhere (beta): save a place, and the app tells you when to leave, where to board and where to get off — re-routes if you miss a connection, and picks you up when you're already aboard a bus, tram, metro or train • Nationwide coverage: HSL, all Waltti cities, VR trains and long-distance coaches • Realtime estimates clearly marked — schedule-only times look different • Follow your bus live on the map as it approaches (Helsinki region, Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä, Lahti, Joensuu) • Home-screen and Lock Screen widgets with live countdowns • Apple Watch app with complications — and a Garmin watch app • Merge nearby stops into one card and rename it "Home" or "Work" • Service alerts for your own stops and lines • In Finnish, Swedish and English — stop names too, wherever a Swedish or English name exists PRIVACY FIRST No account. No ads. No analytics. Your favorites stay on your device, and your location is used to sort stops by walking distance and, when you ask for a route, to plan it or to find the vehicle you're on. Read more: omatpysakit.fi/privacy-policy.html FREE AND PRO Omat Pysäkit has a free version, and an optional paid tier — Omat Pysäkit Pro — as a yearly subscription. Every new install has all Pro features switched on for 14 days, free. There is no subscription to start and no payment details are asked for — afterwards the app keeps working as the free version, and you subscribe only if you want Pro back.
