About Next Departure
Next Departure displays the next departure times for a specific public transportation stop in Switzerland toward a destination: • Next Departure relies on the phone's location to display the most relevant stop. • The Board lists the next departures from every stop near you toward a destination. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and an Apple Watch app. • All stops are synchronized across devices using iCloud. Next Departure uses the search.ch timetable API (https://search.ch/timetable/api/help) and is only available in Switzerland.
What’s new
Version 1.6.2 · Updated October 18, 2026
- The app is now available in Italian - Stop cards now load in the order they appear on screen, so the stops you see first get their departures first - The Board card now shows the next departure of every nearby stop before listing later departures, so a stop with frequent buses no longer hides the other stops around you - Departure times now come straight from the search.ch timetable, so cards keep working when the intermediate service is down - Departures refresh more steadily when the timetable service is busy, and a stop that briefly got no departures recovers on its own - Fewer requests and less iCloud syncing when the app launches - Connections that start with a walk to a nearby stop are no longer shown when a bus from your own stop gets you there just as fast, or when the walk should already have started - The Apple Watch card now lists the same departures as the iPhone card and the widget - Line names on the Board card now line up, whatever the departure times - Fixed a crash at launch on iOS 27 - Fixed a stop card where a departure could be drawn over the first entry, hiding its time - Fixed the app staying on the location permission screen after you answer the prompt on first launch
