iPhone
Live departures, delays, cancellations and platform changes across Europe — trains, metro, tram, bus and ferry in one app. No account, no ads, no ticket shop.
Europe’s public transport, live in one app.
One search, one departure board, one planner, one way to follow a ride — across borders and across supported transport modes. No account. No ads.
ONE APP, NOT ONE PER COUNTRY
Cross a border and nothing changes: the same search, the same departure board, the same planner. Live today in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, France and Belgium, with more countries being added.
TRAINS ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING
• Long-distance and regional trains
• S-Bahn and suburban rail
• Metro and subway
• Tram and light rail
• Bus
• Ferry
Coverage depends on the public data available for each country, network and route; not every listed transport mode or real-time field is available everywhere. Belgium currently covers SNCB/NMBS rail.
LIVE WHERE THE SOURCE PROVIDES IT
A board shows the latest information the source provides: scheduled times and, where available, real-time delay, cancellation, platform changes and the operator’s own service message. Every time is the station’s own local time, including on a train that crosses a border.
PLAN ACROSS BORDERS
Where supported by the available data, give RailNow a start and a destination in two different countries and it builds the whole journey with its changes: leg by leg, platform by platform. A connection shorter than eight minutes is flagged as at risk from live times rather than the printed timetable, and the alternatives are one tap away.
YOUR RIDE TELLS YOU WHAT CHANGED
Track a service and RailNow watches it until you arrive. A notification arrives when something actually changes — a delay, a cancellation, a new platform, a connection at risk, your stop approaching — and you confirm the arrival yourself.
ROUTE DETAIL, CLEARLY LABELED
Where precise route geometry is available, the map follows the railway. Otherwise RailNow shows a clearly labeled station-to-station schematic. Vehicle positions are live only where the operator publishes them; any estimate is clearly labeled.
YOUR RAILWAY PASSPORT
A confirmed journey becomes part of your Railway Passport: distance calculated from the route data available for that service, the countries and networks you have explored, statistics, achievements and a share card.
