About TrainTime: Swiss Departures
Your wrist has the internet and precise GPS. Swiss timetables are accurate to the minute. TrainTime connects the two, on your wrist and in your pocket: live Swiss train, bus and tram departures around you, with platform, delay and walking time, tracking whether you'll make it with every step. No more missing your train while you unlock your phone. Glance and go. NEARBY The closest stations to you, found by GPS. No timetable searching. Each departure shows destination, line, platform, delay and direction of travel. TRACK Tap a departure to follow it. A live countdown against your walk to the station tells you whether you'll make it. The train formation diagram shows where to stand on the platform. FAVOURITES Star a connection and it rides above the gold line at every station. Pin your home station to keep it first. iPHONE + APPLE WATCH Browse and track on the iPhone, or glance at the Apple Watch for the essentials. Send a departure from phone to watch with one tap, and the iPhone shows live what the watch is tracking. Favourites, pinned stations and default mode stay in sync. The Garmin app pairs with your iPhone too. ROUTES Share a trip from SBB Mobile and TrainTime picks up your connections. Save it as a route and get a reminder before departure, timed to your walk. WIDGET Add the widget for your next departures on the home screen. Tap it to open straight into tracking. MODES Trains, buses, trams, boats, funiculars and cable cars. Up to 5 nearby stations per mode. SWITZERLAND-WIDE Real-time timetable data from opentransportdata.swiss: SBB (CFF/FFS), PostBus and regional operators, 51,000+ stations. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no analytics. Your coordinates are processed in-memory and immediately discarded, never stored or shared. Full policy at traintime.ch/privacy. Terms of use at traintime.ch/terms. OPEN SOURCE Both the Train Time app and its API are open source. Not affiliated with or endorsed by SBB or any Swiss transit operator. Departure data comes from opentransportdata.swiss. TrainTime takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the data, or for you missing your train. Good luck!
What’s new
Version 0.7.1 · Updated October 14, 2026
- A late bus or train now stays on the board and in tracking until it has really left, instead of reading gone at its timetable slot. - If one server is down a second takes over, so the board still loads. - A version too old for the servers now says so and asks for an update. - New privacy and terms pages, linked from About. Advanced: a custom server address in Settings.
