## Description

Welcome to Traveline SW — a free public transport journey planner for Great Britain. Data is updated at least weekly (with daily updates for many rail services and South West buses). Plan journeys from a map or menu, view next departures at stops and stations, and use real-time information where available. New features include live bus location in journey results, Active Travel planning with bike-share and carbon-saving guidance, and support for English, German and Ukrainian.

Customize travel modes, walking/cycling/scooter speeds and mobility settings, plan to or from addresses, postcodes, POIs, stops or your current location, and view scheduled routes on maps and timetables. Save favourite trips, share journey details, check known disruptions, and choose earlier/later services. Light and dark modes make the app easy to use day or night.
