Rennes Bus Metro shows the STAR network live: métro, Chronostar, buses, Le Vélo STAR bike stations and the park-and-ride lots of Rennes Métropole. FAVORITES Pin the stops you take every day — line, direction and stop — along with your Le Vélo STAR stations. The home screen shows their next departures, refreshed continuously. NEARBY The app lists the stops around you and their departures. Your location is used only to answer that screen: it is never stored. DIRECTIONS Enter a start and a destination: the app offers several journeys ranked by duration, with transfers, walking times and waits. Leave now, or pick a day and a time several days ahead. When cycling or walking is simply the better answer, that option is offered too. DEPARTURES AND LINES Every stop shows all of its departures, line by line. Every line can be walked through stop by stop, with the network's traffic alerts. And to plan ahead, the timetable view gives the scheduled times, day by day. LIVE DATA, AND HONEST ABOUT IT Times come from the STAR network's real-time feed. When the source is unavailable, the app shows the last known timetable and says so, instead of pretending. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING No sign-up, no name, no email address, no advertising. Your favorites are tied to an anonymous identifier, and you can erase everything from the About screen, in two taps.
