Sydney first. Queensland and Victoria next.

What it does

Built for the thirty seconds before you leave.

No trip planning, no pinching around a map. Pin the stops you use every day and the next departure is on screen before your thumb leaves the icon.

Live departures

Countdowns for trains, metro, light rail, buses and ferries. Delays, cancellations, platforms and alerts come straight from the Transport for NSW feeds, so what you see is what the board at the station says.

Saved journeys

Save a single stop, or a whole trip from A to B. Your home cards count down the next service. No direct route? Quokka finds the connection and tells you where to change.

Works on a patchy connection

Boards open straight away using the last data on your phone, then top up when the signal returns. Tunnels and dead spots don't leave you staring at nothing.

Fast search

Any station, wharf, stop or route in a few keystrokes. No map-scrolling required.

Inside the app

Every stop, every platform, every change.

Departures that answer the whole question

Not just "8 min". Which platform, which line, how long the trip takes, and whether that time is live or still just the timetable.

  • Countdown, scheduled time and arrival together
  • Platform and stand numbers up front
  • Trackwork and alerts in line, not buried three taps deep

Expand any service to see every stop

Tap a departure and the stopping pattern opens up: where to board, every station on the way with its platform and time, and where to get off.

A departure expanded to show all stops between Central and Parramatta with board and alight markers.

The whole trip, timed end to end

Leave at, arrive by, total time, and any change in between. Saved trips reopen with fresh times, so there's one screen to check before you walk out the door.
