Departures Live
Realtime Passenger Information
Free
Always well Informed! Anytime, anywhere!
Departures Live is the new app from INIT that allows you to get real-time information on your stops right from your smart phone.
From the app, you can select your stop from a map view, a list of all stops, or simply from your bookmarks. Departures Live gives you up to the minute information on your next departures. You can also request and view alternate stops located nearby.
Departures Live also offers an Augmented Reality feature through your iPhone's camera. This gives you the ability to see which stops are closest to you, as well as the distance to each of the next stops. Also included is a pedestrian navigation feature that takes you directly to your stop with just one additional touch.
