Welcome to the latest update of Sydney Transport! We've added some great new features to make your journey even easier and more enjoyable.
Introducing the new Alarms tab! Now you can set up different alarms to keep you informed and on track. Set a Location Alarm, and we'll notify you when you're approaching your destination, so you never miss your stop. Or, set an Arrival Times Alarm, and we'll send you the next three arrival times at your chosen stop, making sure you're always on time for your commute. Finally, set a Line Status Alarm, and we'll let you know of any service alerts affecting your line at a specific time each day, so you can plan ahead and avoid delays.
We've also added a new settings screen, with even more theme colors and app icons to choose from, allowing you to personalize your Sydney Transport experience. Change the map location dot to suit your style, or adjust the way arrival times are shown to best suit your preferences. And, for those of you who prefer imperial or metric units, you can now easily change the distance units.
As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know through the app. Thanks for using Sydney Transport!

2022.1
2022-04-05
In this release: new iCloud Sync and Apple Watch app!
The biggest change you'll notice is that we have changed the way Sync works: now you don't need to use email or some weird login system - it's all built directly into iCloud, so all you have to do is flip the switch beside 'iCloud Sync' and all of your saved stations, locations and trips will automatically sync across all of your devices. Better yet, when you replace or upgrade your iPhone, you can relax knowing that all of your settings will automatically sync to your new device.
We've also updated our Apple Watch app to deliver a smoother experience. This is the first stage: it shows you all of the departure times near you. Next up we're working on a way to sync your saved lines and stations so they appear at the top of the list - coming soon!
And finally of course, LOTS of tweaks and bug-fixes throughout the app.

Time for a new release, which includes a redesigned trip itinerary screen, live walking directions and a brand new Premium feature: a 360° panorama of your destination.
REDESIGNED TRIP ITINERARY SCREEN
We’ve redesigned this screen to give each step more breathing space and make each step clearer.
LIVE WALKING DIRECTIONS
When you tap on a walking step in a trip itinerary, we’ll update the map as you move, so if you decide to take an alternative route to your destination, the walking directions will recalculate automatically.
SEE YOUR DESTINATION
Exclusively for Premium customers, tap on your destination to see a 360° panorama of the street it’s on – perfect if you’ve never been there before.
We’ve also added a few bug fixes and renamed some labels.
Right, onto version 2021.2. See you soon!

A quick note about privacy: we've made sure this service is as private as possible. We don't store your name, email address or social media login. Instead, our database stores a unique Sync ID that identifies you, but isn't related to your login details. Also, we use the industry-standard OAuth2 protocol to log in to your social media account (if that's the option you choose) rather than add the social media company's own code to our app. Finally, we use a 'passwordless' email system, so if you choose to use your email address to log in, we send you an email to log in, and your email address isn't stored on our database.
Until next time, happy commuting!

Love the app? Rate us. Questions? Send us a message and we'll do everything we can to help.
2020.4.1
2020-06-02
In this release, we've fixed some bugs with search and departure boards.
2020.4
2020-05-07
New in this release: Deep Search, Siri Shortcuts, Favourite Stops widget, delays, sharing and much more!
DEEP SEARCH
If you’re like us, there’s a huge number of bus routes around you, and you don’t know where most of them go. The destination only tells you where it ends – which isn’t much good if you want to know which buses or trains go to the city centre. We’ve made this a lot easier – you’ll find a new search bar on every departure board. Just type in what you’re looking for (a street name, a town… anything you like) and we’ll show you which lines go there. It works for the Lines tab as well.
SIRI SHORTCUTS
You can now add departure boards, live tracking and route maps to Siri Shortcuts.
DELAYS
We’ll let you know if your bus or train is delayed and by how many minutes.
SHARE STOPS & LINES
You’ve been able to share trips with your friends and family for a long time, and now you can share stop departure boards and route maps as well.
Until next time…
2020.1.4
2020-03-27
New in this release: new dashboard with quick search buttons and departure boards, faster startup, what3words search and several bug fixes.
NEW DASHBOARD
We've updated the dashboard to make it quick and easy to see departures near you, along with buttons for your saved places.
FASTER STARTUP
We started this app back in 2013, and it's picked up a lot of cruft along the way. We took some time out to rebuild the app from scratch and leave out anything that wasn't necessary. Now, the app should open faster than it did before.
WHAT3WORDS SEARCH
If you're looking for directions to a very specific place (say, the arrivals entrance at an airport, or the ticket stall at a stadium) putting in the address can sometimes send you to a different part of the building. Well now that hassle is over - if you know the three-word address for that location from what3words we'll get you directions to that exact spot!
Finally, you can now vote for the next feature we build (or add your own to the list) - just tap on the More tab to find out more.
Until next time, happy commuting!
2019.12
2019-11-15

Improved!
• You can now set your start screen from the settings panel in More
• We’ve changed the names and icons on the tab bar to make it clearer where everything is
Fixed!
• Native app resolution for iPhone XR and iPhone XS Max
• The Live Tracking map now fills the whole screen on certain iPhone models

More coming soon – see you next time!
5.3
2019-07-05
Hello everyone – it’s time for a new release! This time, we’ve added the ability to save your daily routes for quick access, and we’ve added service alerts throughout the app – on arrival boards, route maps and the Live Tracking screen.
As you move through the app, you’ll see what issues your local routes are facing today – on the Routes screen, you’ll see a green tick if everything’s good, or a warning sign if there’s going to be trouble on your line.
We’ve also added some features to further protect your privacy – all usage statistics are anonymous, and sent to our own servers instead of third-party analytics tools. What this means for you is that none of your usage data (which screens you look at, which city you’re in, etc.) gets shared with anyone else. This process will be complete by October 2019.
You can also disable usage tracking as well (you can find the switch in the More screen). Now the only information that’s shared is with our advertising partners – and if you upgrade to our Premium edition (again, you can do that in the More screen), you can go ad-free and use the app in complete privacy. We have never stored details of which trips you take without your permission – and we never will.
Finally, we want to thank each and every one of you for choosing our app to make your commute easier. We read every email and message you send us, and we have a whole lot of new features to bring to you this summer and beyond.
5.2
2019-05-10
In this release, service alerts are now displayed as part of a journey plan, and saved stops include live departure boards.
We love feedback! Get in touch with us at talk@travelwhiz.app or find us on Twitter at @TalkToWhiz. Have a great week!
4.12.1
2019-01-15
In this release, we’ve made a number of changes and enhancements, including:
NEW: You can now choose your preferred routing mode when planning a trip – so you can choose the fastest way to get there, or minimize walking or transfers instead.
NEW: Platform numbers now appear as part of a trip itinerary where available
FIX: Visual changes to the Trip Details screen
FIX: push notifications now work correctly on all devices
FIX: sometimes the app would crash when tapping on the Live Directions button – this has been fixed.
Enjoy our app? Give us a five-star rating in the App Store. We would love to hear your ideas and suggestions, so send us feedback to talk@totaltransitapp.com
4.11
2018-12-21
This is a big release for us – we’re taking trip planning to the next level. You’re going to want to read this one!
LIVE TRIP PLANNING
So here’s the problem with trip planning: as soon as you ask for directions, they’re stale. Buses and trains get delayed, or you might miss your connection. Even though the trip details are ‘live’ when we send them to you, as soon as a minute passes, they might not be accurate any more.
So we’ve added live departure boards to each stage of your trip. These update every thirty seconds to make sure you know exactly when your bus or train will arrive. Best of all, they keep working even after your trip has finished – they’ll keep showing the next arrivals days and weeks after you got those directions, which brings us to…
SAVE YOUR TRIP FOR LATER
Okay, that’s already part of the app. But now it’s a whole lot more useful. When you tap on the star icon at the top of the trip itinerary screen, you can give that trip a name (‘Commute to Work’, for example). Now, instead of asking for a fresh set of directions every day, you can just tap on your saved trip and see live departure times for each stage of your trip, day after day.
This isn’t the kind of thing you want to keep to yourself, so we’ve introduced…
SHARE YOUR TRIP
Now you can send a link to anyone using Messages, WhatsApp, email and more – even if they don’t have the app. Anyone with an Internet connection can view the trip you’ve sent to them – a great way of letting someone know when you’ll arrive (or even helping someone from out of town find their way). Just tap on the new Share icon on the top-right of the trip itinerary screen.
More to come very soon!
