Travelling on Victoria’s regional train network is expected to become simpler and more convenient with access to real time information now available on phones and other personal devices.
Since October 5, real time data on V/Line train services has been available on the key apps people across Victoria use when they travel including Google and Apple Maps and AnyTrips apps.
Until now, real time data for V/Line train services has only been available at stations on platform display boards.
Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams said real time data would make coordinating trips easier and help to avoid any unnecessary travel time.
“We’re taking the next step towards a smarter, more responsive and more coordinated public transport system in Victoria with real time information widely available across our trains, trams and local buses,” she said.
“With the regional fare cap proving to be extremely popular with Victorians, we’re ensuring passengers have more information at their fingertips to take full advantage of the reduced fares and a better travel experience.”
Passengers using Melbourne’s tram network will also have access to real time data through more channels.
Passengers across the state and on all modes of public transport now have access to real-time travel information, except for V/Line coach and freight services.
