Read full descriptionHide full description
Prague Transport is a native iOS app for real-time tracking of Prague public transport. It shows live departures from nearby stops, an interactive map with vehicle positions, journey planning with transfers, and much more — all in a clean interface designed for daily commuting. **LIVE DEPARTURES** Departures refresh every 10 seconds. You see actual minutes to departure, not just a timetable. Delays and disruptions are highlighted — no unpleasant surprises at the stop. **INTERACTIVE MAP** The MapKit map shows all nearby stops color-coded by transport type: metro (Line A green, B yellow, C red), tram, bus, train, ferry and funicular. Vehicles move in real time on the map, refreshing every 7 seconds. **DYNAMIC ISLAND & LIVE ACTIVITY** Tracking a specific departure? One tap on the departure card launches a Live Activity — the countdown appears right on the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen. The app also schedules a notification 2 minutes before departure so you never miss your ride. **WIDGETS & LOCK SCREEN** Add a widget to your Home Screen — Small, Medium, or Large — and see departures from Home and Work without opening the app. Lock Screen widgets are supported too. Timeline refreshes every 5 minutes. **APPLE WATCH** Departures on your wrist. The Watch app shows Pinned, Home, and Work sections with countdowns and offers a full transfer journey detail view with a navigation button to Apple Maps. Data syncs via WatchConnectivity and auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. **JOURNEY PLANNER** Enter origin, optional via point, and destination, choose departure or arrival time, and filter preferred transport modes. Results include transfer details and walking distances — connections requiring more than 300 m of walking are automatically filtered out. **FAVOURITES & PINNED** Save Home, Work, Pinned, or any favourite stops. Everything is shared with widgets and Watch via App Group — you see the same data across all your devices. **SMS TICKETS (PID)** Need a ticket? The app pre-fills an SMS to number 90206 — you just confirm sending. Choose from: **YOUR SETTINGS** Set the stop search radius from 5 m to 1 km. Departure window 5–60 minutes. Map style: Standard, Satellite, or 3D. Full dark mode support.
