Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
What's New:
Rail replacement services (SEV) are now clearly marked with a dedicated bus icon in the departures list — handy during KVB construction work.
Service messages and disruption notes now appear directly under each trip.
Smoother navigation throughout the app after migrating to the modern navigation stack.
The title on the main screen now collapses as you scroll, leaving more room for departures.
Polished spacing and alignment around the line picker and info button.
Minor refinements to line badges for better legibility.
