Perron Departures

Not when the tram goes. When you should leave. Perron subtracts your walking time and puts the answer on your Home Screen.

A departure board tells you when the tram leaves. Standing in your hallway, that is the wrong question. What you actually want to know is when you should leave.

Perron asks how long it takes you to walk to your stop, then does the subtraction for you. Instead of "14:23", it says Leave now. Or Leave in 6 min. Or, when you have cut it fine, Run for it.

WIDGETS THAT ANSWER FIRST Put a widget on your Home Screen or Lock Screen and never open the app. Small, medium and large, plus all three Lock Screen sizes. Each widget is configured on its own, so you can have one for the stop outside your door and another that follows wherever you happen to be.

A PER-STOP WALKING TIME The tram outside your building and the bus ten minutes away are not the same walk. Pin as many stops as you like and give each one its own time.

REAL-TIME, NOT JUST TIMETABLED Live delays, cancellations and last-minute platform changes, with the line numbers in the exact colours they are painted on the vehicle. When a departure is only timetabled and has no live data yet, Perron says so rather than pretending.

NEAREST STOP, AUTOMATICALLY Away from home, switch to the nearest stop and Perron finds it.

QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No advertising. No analytics, no tracking, and nothing stored about you or where you go. Perron asks for your location only to find nearby stops, and only while you are using it.
