Departures

A mobile-first web app for checking Dutch public transport departures. I made this because I got annoyed losing time with official apps, especially when I’m in a hurry and just need to know if and when my next bus is coming. One tap, easily bookmarkable or installable as a PWA.

Key features

• Live departure data from the OV-API (metros, buses, trams)
• Searchable stops, sorted by town & stop name
• Mobile-first responsive design with multiple custom themes
• Client-side caching and background refresh using TanStack Query
• PWA (Progressive Web App) support for offline use and home screen installation
• Shareable links—stops encoded in URL (e.g ?stop=MttAca) for easy bookmarking and sharing
