Access to real time information on V/Line train arrivals is now available on phones and other personal devices, making travel on Victoria’s regional train network simpler and more convenient.
The data is available on the key apps people across Victoria use when they travel – Google and Apple Maps and AnyTrips apps.
Until now, real time data for V/Line train services has only been available at stations on platform display boards.
Real time data makes coordinating when to leave home for the station easier, and avoids unnecessary travel time by alerting passengers if trains are running slightly behind schedule or there are significant unplanned disruptions.
Passengers using the world’s largest tram network will also have access to real time data through more channels. Currently, Yarra Trams passengers only have access to such information via the tramTRACKER app or the PTV app or at tram stops displays.
Passengers across the state and on all modes of public transport now have access to real-time travel information, except for V/Line coach and freight services.
Public transport minister Gabrielle Williams said the the move was the next step towards a smarter, more responsive and more coordinated public transport system in Victoria.
“We’re ensuring passengers have more information at their fingertips to take full advantage of the reduced fares and a better travel experience,” she said.
