About this app

Track your train in real time with Tchou: its position on the map, its stops, any delays, its platform, and its schedule. TGV, TER, Intercités, or Transilien: all SNCF trains are on the map.

Whether you're on board, accompanying someone to the station, or waiting for their arrival, simply type in the train number or the name of a station to see its progress.

Each train also has its own lounge, open before, during, and after the journey. You can chat with other passengers, share information, ask for help or a charger, offer to share a taxi upon arrival, or start a game of "Guess the Station" to pass the time.

No account creation required: choose a username and join the lounge. Once the journey is over, the lounge and its messages disappear.

In eight major cities (Paris and the Île-de-France region, Bordeaux, Lille, Toulouse, Nantes, Montpellier, Rennes, and Nice), the City mode also tracks public transportation. Metro, tram, RER, Transilien, cable car, or river shuttle: the trains move across the map in real time, with upcoming departures at each station and details of each line. Each line has its own chat room, where messages are saved for 48 hours.

You can switch between cities with a simple gesture, and your usual lines are saved in "My Lines."

To plan a journey, enter your departure station and destination: the map only shows the relevant lines and tells you which ones to take and where to change. On a station's information page, "Getting there" guides you from your current location.

If you've passed someone on a train but didn't dare speak to them, leave a message in "We've crossed paths," for free. It only tells you the line or train, the day, and the time of the journey, never what the person looks like. To recognize itself, it will have to find your answers to three private questions, and nothing happens after that without your consent.

Tchou also shows upcoming departures around you and the timetable for each station, and keeps track of your journeys in a notebook.

Register your usual train for free: Tchou monitors it every day and alerts you to delays or cancellations before you even leave home, even when the app is closed. With the Rail Passport, it also tracks your return trip and all your other journeys.

The schedules and real-time information come from open data from SNCF, Île-de-France Mobilités, and each city's network. Tchou is an independent application: it is not affiliated with SNCF, RATP, or any other transport operator.
