Next Services

The “Next Services” tab shows departures near your current location or near a point you choose. You can view the departures sorted by either stops or just by time. Switch between the two by using the options menu on your device.

Departure point and time
Enter the name of a stop, a point of interest or an address in the text field and you will be shown any possible matches. After you have chosen a point departures near this point will be displayed. Tapping the “Now” button will let you select the date and time you want departures displayed for.

My Location button
Tap the "My location" button to set the departure point to match your current location.

Auto-Refresh
The Auto-Refresh button toggles auto refresh on or off. If the Auto-Refresh button is on, the departure list will be updated regularly.

Departures
When you tap the ‘Menu’ button on your Android device, a sub menu will be displayed. You can then select to “Sort by time” or “Sort by stop”.  The departures are either shown below the stop header or in one continual list. To change the sorting of this, open up the options menu and select either “Sort by time” or “Sort by stop”.

Trips

The “A-B Trips” tab shows you the best possibilities for getting from a specified point to a specified destination, at the selected time. Tap any element of the trips that are displayed to get more information on them, if any information is available.

Origin, destination and time
Tap the "From" or "To" text box to select the origin or destination of your journey. Once a text box has been tapped, you will be presented with a list of recently used or saved points to select. You can also enter the name of a stop, a point of interest or an address in both text fields and any possible matches will be displayed. Once you have selected one of the possible matches, it will be set as either the origin or the destination. 

My location button
Tapping on the "My location" button sets the origin to match your current location.

Return trip

Tap this button to centre the map to your location using your phone’s GPS.
