Description

Real-time Melbourne public transport departures on your Pebble smartwatch.

YarraTrak shows live train, tram, and V/Line departure times directly on your wrist. Configure your favourite stations and get instant, glanceable info, with vibration patterns that encode the wait time, so you know when to leave without looking at the screen. It also keeps you aware of upcoming and current disruptions to services on your favourite lines.

It also includes an AI assistant where you can natural language questions via Claude ("next train from Richmond to the city"), to obtain information of services that are outside of your favourites list, via the dictation feature.

The app comes pre-loaded with 4 demo entries. Open it and you'll see live departures immediately
Open Settings on your phone to customise your favourite stations.

The server collects anonymous metrics about query and request volumes so performance and scalability can be monitored over time. (I don't want to flood PTV's API too much).

The endpoint server uses Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) data but is not affiliated with DTP or PTV / Transport Victoria.
