DepBoardPublic transport · live departures
Every stop around you, on a split-flap board.
DepBoard finds the bus, tram, trolleybus and train stops within 500 m, nearest first, and shows each one as an analog departure board with the next four departures, live.
How it works
Open it. Look. Go.
No timetables to search, no stop numbers to remember. DepBoard reads the street around you.
Find your spot
Uses your GPS position, or any street, place or address you search for.
Stops, nearest first
Every stop within 500 m becomes its own board, sorted by walking distance.
Departures, live
All boards refresh in one request every 30 s, and the countdown ticks every second.
Features
A departure hall in your pocket
Three tabs: Map, Nearby and Route. They cover the questions you ask at a stop.
Tap a board for the full schedule
Each stop opens into every upcoming departure across all of its platforms, with clock time, countdown and delay. Tap a departure to see the line's whole route and when it reaches each stop.
- Delays shown as “+2 min delay”
- Loads more as you scroll
- Full stop sequence for every line
Plan a trip from A to B
The Route tab gives you up to three itineraries with walking time, transfers and every stop along the way. Recent searches stay one tap away.
- Direct and one-transfer options
- Walk + ride legs at a glance
- Starts from where you are

Search anywhere
No GPS? Search any street, place or address to see the boards around it.
Quiet stops are hidden
A stop with nothing running is left out of the list instead of filling it with empty boards.
Coverage
Four countries, one board
DepBoard combines city and rail feeds into a single view, so a tram stop and a train platform appear side by side.
