Calder Transit · official app
Live arrivals for every bus, tram and metro in Calder. One card that caps itself. Alerts written by people, in plain words. That's the whole app.

Live departures
Times count down the way you'd say them out loud — 4 min, 1 min, due. When a vehicle leaves, its row leaves with it.

Seeded demo feed — it behaves like the real thing, but no trains were harmed. In production this reads the city's GTFS-RT feed.
One card
One fare card for bus, tram and metro. Ride enough in a day and it stops charging you — the cap applies on its own, every time. You can't buy the wrong ticket, because there are no tickets.

Service alerts
No “minor delays”. Every alert says what happened, what we're doing about it, and when it ends.
A train with a door fault was taken out of service at Fountain at 07:41. It's being moved to the depot. Platforms will be busier than usual — the 09:00–10:30 gap is the worst of it.
Updated 08:12 · by a person
We're replacing 400 metres of 1980s track — the cause of the Saturday slow zones. Buses run instead, every 8 minutes, from stop G2 outside each station. They're step-free.

Step-free route: use the west lift, signed from arrivals — it adds about two minutes. We check lift status every 20 minutes and this alert updates itself when the lift comes back.

Access
This site — like the app — is built to WCAG AAA where the guidelines define it. Not as a compliance chore: as the product.
21 of 25 stations are step-free today. The four that aren't — Quarry, Vale, Foundry and Brickyard — say so plainly on the map, with the dates their fixes are funded for. Journey plans can avoid them with one switch.
Lift status is checked every 20 minutes and written into alerts. “Step-free” in Farebox means street to platform to vehicle — not just “there is a lift somewhere”.

Measured, not guessed. One honest trade: pure Amber Line paint
(#f5a623) manages only 2.0:1 on white — so on light surfaces
we draw it in a deeper amber that passes. The buses keep their paint.

Free. No account needed to see arrivals. Your fare card lives in the app or stays plastic — both work, both cap.
