About Welly Metro
Welly Metro is a simple commuter app to quickly and easily let you know when the next Wellington bus or train is due. Add favourite stops and routes to instantly find your next departure times. The companion watch app uses favorite stops and routes to conveniently show you your next bus or train time on your wrist.
What’s new
Version 2.0 · Updated September 14, 2026
• Live Activities & Dynamic Island — track your next bus live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with a "Due" state that auto-ends. • Redesigned Apple Watch app — now standalone, with a favourites-focused home screen showing your next departures, real stop names, and a departure-time complication. • Modern widgets & complications — rebuilt on WidgetKit and App Intents; they no longer show buses that have already left, and can filter to your favourite routes. • Live route data — departures and routes now come from the live Metlink API instead of bundled data.
