AKL Live for Windows

Your buses, at a glance

A hello for the time of day, a line on how things look ("Sweet as, the 27H is on time"), and each direction with a live scene: the bus drives in as it counts down. Which bus it is, how full, how far away, and when to leave.

The 27H's live map and the rest of today's timetable — **Your route, live.** Every bus heading your way on the map, and the rest of today's times.

**The desk board.** A small always-on-top board (Ctrl+M), plus a tray countdown and Windows alerts before your bus.

Directions, like AT's journey planner (but on your PC)

Plan any trip by bus, train and ferry. The router runs on your computer over AT's full timetable, with live delays, the actual bus that's coming, walking directions, reminders and calendar events.

Directions from Hillsborough to Auckland Airport — **Options, tagged.** Fastest, least walking, fewest changes, with the whole trip drawn along the real route.

Step-by-step directions — **Step by step.** Every stop and time, turn-by-turn walking, live delays, "Remind me to leave" and "Add to calendar".

Ngā Tereina: the whole rail network, live

Drawn from the track shapes in AT's timetable, in AT's own line colours. Lines on the same rails run side by side; every train sits where its GPS puts it, pointing the way it's heading.

The train network diagram with live trains — **Every train, live.** From Swanson to Pukekohe, with Te Huia to Hamilton.

The City Rail Link, zoomed in, with a train's next stops — **Through the CRL.** Click a train for its next stops and times, or a station for every platform's departures.

Every bus in Auckland, on one map

All 600+ buses at rush hour, coloured by operator, with filters for electric buses, double-deckers and operators. Click one for its route, next stops, speed, how full it is, and its model with a real photo.

Every bus on the live map — **The whole network.** 630 buses at 8:40 pm on a Monday.

A selected bus with its route and next stops — **Follow a bus.** Its route, next stops and the model it is.

Waitematā station departures — **Any stop or station.** Live departures from every platform, over detailed maps.

Every route running today — **Every route.** All 210 routes running today, and where they go.

The fleet, with real photos

Every bus model on Auckland's roads, how many are out right now and where, with photos from the AT Metro Wiki. And a Fleet dex: a model counts once one pulls up at your stop.

Every bus model with photos — **18 models.** From the CRRC eT12 MAX to the Enviro500 double-decker.

The CRRC eT12 MAX page — **A page per model.** Specs, fleet numbers and a live map of every one out now.

The Fleet dex — **Fleet dex.** Collect them all, from "Rookie spotter" to "Depot legend".

Service alerts — **Alerts.** Every detour, moved stop and cancellation; yours first.
