Features

Everything you check on the way, in one glance.

Built for the moment you are walking to the stop: the answer is on screen before you ask.

Live departures near you

Open the app and the stops around you are already there, each with its next departures counting down in real time.

Trip planning, even offline

Leave now, depart at or arrive by. Shoal uses the city’s own journey planner where there is one and plans on your iPhone everywhere else.

Saved stops, lines and sets

Save the stops, lines and services you use, and group them into sets: “my commute”, “the school run”.

Departure reminders

Long-press a departure and choose Remind me. Shoal tells you when it is time to leave.

Works offline

Each city’s timetable lives on your iPhone, so stops, departures, lines and trip plans work underground and in flight mode.

Cities

One app across 13 cities.

Each city uses its operators’ own open data, with the timetable on your phone and live times on top wherever they are published.

What works in each city

No account. No tracking. Your trips stay yours.

  • Location only while the app is open, used on your iPhone to find nearby stops.
  • Favourites stay on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud. We never see them.
  • Ads are non-personalised and never see where you go. Or remove them once, for good.
