Real-time schedules
As long as your agency provides them, real-time arrivals display by default in the ETA cards and the schedule screen.
Just like elsewhere in the app, real-time arrivals are bold and indicated by two pulsating waves, and scheduled times are in grey.
Here’s how real-time arrivals appear in the ETA cards and the schedule screen.
To compare real-time and scheduled arrivals, long press the button in the bottom right-hand corner.
