mesdeparts.ch

Independent Swiss departure board

About mesdeparts.ch

mesdeparts.ch is a lightweight departure timetable for public transport Switzerland: planned bus, tram and train times first, with realtime departures added when the source data supports them.

What mesdeparts.ch is

mesdeparts.ch is an independent, unofficial departure board.

The site is intentionally narrow: search one stop or station, then read the next departures without opening a full journey-planning flow.

What it is not

mesdeparts.ch is not an official service and has no affiliation with SBB/CFF/FFS or transport operators.

  • It is not an official transport-operator service, a ticket shop, or a full journey planner.
  • It is not affiliated with SBB/CFF/FFS or public transport operators.

Where the data comes from

Scheduled GTFS data, GTFS-RT TripUpdates, and GTFS-RT Service Alerts come from Swiss public transport feeds via opentransportdata.swiss.

mesdeparts.ch caches those feeds and merges them into the board, but does not operate the transport data itself.

mesdeparts.ch starts from scheduled GTFS timetable data and adds realtime updates when they are available for that stop or trip.

If no usable realtime update is available, the board stays on the scheduled time instead of guessing.

What stays on this device

This app stores favorites, the selected stop, language, and the last opened Help tab locally in this browser, with no account.

The clock is integrated from the open-source sbbUhr project.

  • Clock: sbbUhr, Apache License 2.0.
  • Colors and visual markers are used only to make the board easier to read in practice.

When information matters

Live estimates can still change shortly before departure, especially on urban lines.

If a decision really matters, station displays and the operator’s official channels remain the reference.
