4.2.0 21 Oct
Meet NextThere 4.1: Our smartest update yet!
We’ve added four big new features to make catching public transport easier and more predictable.
# Departure Analytics
At the bottom of every service, you’ll now find historic performance. This chart shows how that specific service performed at your exact stop over the past 90 days. If a statistic stands out, like a service being cancelled frequently or consistently arriving on time, it’s highlighted at the top so you don’t miss it.
# See Every Vehicle
Subscribers can now see every vehicle across your city in real-time in Search. Tapping on a vehicle reveals its route and performance. This makes it easier than ever to quickly access trip information without needing to find your departure stop and work backwards.
# Status Reimagined
The status page is now redesigned and personalised, taking into account your current location and saved stops. It provides an overview of nearby routes and operators’ performance. Important alerts are prominently displayed to ensure you don’t miss them.
# Vehicle Traces
Curious about why your service was delayed? Vehicle traces show you the vehicle’s speed on the map, revealing where it was held up and where it resumed its journey.
There's lots more to discover. We’ve redesigned our map for easier stop and route finding. New vehicle information cards have been added, and you can now search for operators directly from the status page. We can't wait to hear what you think.
# 4.1.1
- Added option to use stop colours rather than route colours in widgets.
- Fixed a crash on iOS 16 and earlier when viewing a trip.
- Fixed tracked trips without a departure point looking a bit odd.
- Fixed vehicle speeds always displaying in km/h, instead of mph or knots where relevant.
