Shuttle is the next-generation public transport app for Melbourne and Victoria. It actually makes sure you know if your service is delayed or suspended, it comes with heaps of unique features that let you stay on top of your journey, and it's just half the price of one day's commute* - for lifetime access.
FEATURES:
+ Supports all Melbourne and Victorian train, tram, bus, and V/Line PTV public transport services.
+ View departures, get live information, make complete journey plans, etc.
+ Service disruptions and delays are surfaced clearly, app-wide, instead of hidden away.
+ Track your service or journey plan from the Lock Screen or another app with Live Activities.
+ Notifications and wake-up alarms for when your service is arriving and departing.
+ Calendar integration, allowing you to make a journey plan to your next event with just a tap.
+ A powerful favourites system that lets you see everything you need at a glance.
+ Optional, on-device AI-powered journey and disruption summaries.
+ Cool stats for train nerds: incl. what type of train and consist is running a service.
+ Refined throughout nearly a year of betas.
+ All in a beautiful, intuitive design that's easy to use and fits right at home on iPhone.
Shuttle has no ads, no in-app purchases, and no subscriptions. Get the app once and own it for life.
Shuttle was made in Victoria, for Victoria. By purchasing the app, you're supporting a local student developer.

* Based on an adult fare from Zone 2 to 1, and back (e.g. Dandenong to the city).
Shuttle is not affiliated with PTV or Transport Victoria. It's an independent project built by a commuter like you.
Shuttle allows for great glanceable information through live activities and pinned favourites without tapping into any further taps. Crucial information like when a service is arriving, what platform it’s leaving from and any disruptions are easy to access in a beautiful looking app that’s a worthwhile upgrade to ptv.However, when using the app some actions feel like they take longer than they should or unnecessarily complicated:- Can’t add a stop to journery planner from the search screen. Instead have to go into the journey planner tab and find it there- Cant add tap in and see the full stop information from favourites if selecting a singles direction (to be able to see the how long from the Home Screen). (It would be nice to be able to to click the top bar to see full stop information or be able to back out into it instead of having to search for the stop in search)- Can’t see disruptions in the single direction stop view. (When coming from favourites).-Journey planner defaults to being empty instead of including current location by default. (Or having that option)- it would be nice to be able to see every stop by zooming out on the map instead of just the nearby ones Overall the app functions as advertised, has almost every feature you’d want (hopefully widgets coming soon) wrapped in a stunning package that just needs a few UI tweaks to make it flow. Definitely worth a buy for the live activities and disruptions alone. No subscription is very much appreciated
Developer Response
Thanks a heap for the great and thorough review! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Shuttle so far, and I'm happy to take on your feedback and will be implementing a lot of your suggestions in the next Shuttle update :)
Extremely reliable!

I find shuttle much more reliable for public transport compared to Google maps, it shows more transport options such as a way to reach my destination faster compared to Google Maps and lines that aren't shown. Worth every dollar!

Thrilled to hear you're finding Shuttle helpful! :)
Train Stats and Platforms
ShaabazK8511
I believe it was advertised that this app could show nerdy train stats like what train and model is running the service (i.e. EDI Comeng, VLocity, Siemens Nexus, etc) and the train number (1048T or like 393M or 394M), I can’t seem to find this information anywhere in the app - where to find this?Also, the app doesn’t seem to show the platforms that V/Line trains are departing from which makes it as useless as the PTV app - if this information is available - please let me know where to find it.Another part is that the app doesn’t seem to show the next departures properly.I set my starting location to South Yarra Station and destination to Southern Cross Station, and instead of showing the next service departing in 5 mins, it showed the first service to depart being the one in 15 mins.Apart from that - I love the Live Activities and (I’m not sure how to set an alarm for when my train is supposed to arrive at my stop - pls help me with this as well) and yeah the app is really good.
