About Late Again
Trains, trams and buses, sorted.
Why it exists
Finding out your train, tram or bus is late shouldn't take three apps and a station announcement. The operator's notices cover every line in the network, so the one that matters to you is buried, and it usually turns up after you've left home.
Late Again starts from the lines you catch. It shows them worst first, tells you once when something goes wrong on your trip, and stays quiet the rest of the time. On a trip, it counts down to your stop on the lock screen and can ring when it's next. Set where you're going and the departures board shows which trains actually stop there, and when it's the line that's down, it works out another way.
Where it works
Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth, using each city's own open data. In Melbourne that is every train, every tram route and every metropolitan bus route; elsewhere it is the trains and light rail each city publishes. Canberra publishes no disruption notices, so the app says so. Perth publishes its timetable and nothing live, so there the app shows scheduled times and says so. Late Again is independent and not affiliated with any transport agency. Check with the operator before a decision you can't take back.
