- Alarms (arrival/departure, time/distance)
- Multi-modal trip editor (customise exact change locations / lines)

NOTE: Best efforts are taken to ensure timetable accuracy, but no guarantees are made. If you find an error in the timetable, please email [e-mail] with details. No guarantees are made about real-time data availability. If the transit operator doesn't provide real-time data for a particular service, TripView will revert to showing the scheduled time, as per the timetable.

Ratings and reviews

Tripview is an excellent app and has been very useful living in Sydney. However, I have observed one annoying bug. When you set an alarm for a bus route, it shows the exact same text across both departure and arrival alarm setup screens, even if they are in different suburbs. Once the alarm is set it works properly - but it can be quite confusing to actually set the alarm. Apart from that, the app works very well.

Sometimes train timetable data does not display correctly. For example today's Melbourne Central to Upfield line trip is showing trains departing Melb Central for Upfield every 2 minutes? Also: App is not sophisticated enough to deal with Metro Trains Melbourne's propensity to short shunt services (turn trains around before end of line to make up time when running 6 min late, as on the Upfield Line). TripReview records as 'running late' when in fact service never coming for northern commuters.

I have been using this app for years, and it is my go-to for planning out my public transport trips. I use the full version, which allows me to save multiple trips so I never have to enter that information again. Timetable updates are made regularly, and the trip alerts are particularly helpful to see if there is any trackwork or issues with items such as elevators not working at a departure station. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple way to work out timings and connections.
