Bus and train, door to door – in Germany and the Netherlands
Transit EU is a journey planner for the iPhone. It finds the fastest connection and the one with the Deutschlandticket only, follows your ride live and shows you the way to the platform when you change.

What the app does
Your ride, live
Start a ride and your train is on the map. Platform, countdown and delay sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island; a reminder comes before you get off and before every change.
Changes without searching
From platform to platform: the walk on the map – in 3D too, with the platforms on their levels and the way over stairs and lifts.
Every vehicle on the map
Buses, trams and trains move on the map in real time: in the Netherlands from open real-time data, in Germany worked out from the timetable and the delays. Departures at every stop.
Fastest, or with the Deutschlandticket only
Both journeys side by side. Where a leg needs another ticket – an ICE, say – the app tells you before you set off.
Delays and platform changes in real time
Delays, cancellations and, where the data has them, platform changes as soon as they are known – for every leg of your journey.
