Tere - NZ Public Transport

Tere is a live departures board for Wellington, not a journey planner. It's for commuters who already know their routes and just want to know when the next one arrives, in under a second. Tap your home screen. Your journeys are right there, each showing the next three departures live with stops away, delay chips, occupancy, and cancellations. Pick one for the full departure board. FAST, ON PURPOSE Tere is named for the te reo Māori word for "swift". The offline timetable is imported once on first launch (~12 MB, once), so opening a board is instant and doesn't need a connection. Live data layers on top from the open Metlink API when you're online. WHAT IT DOES • Bus, train, ferry, and Cable Car — every mode Metlink runs. • Search stops by name or stop number. • Rename stops with your own labels — Work, Home, Gym. • Hide the route numbers you never take. • Tap the title on train, ferry, or Cable Car boards to flip direction in one gesture. • A sliding two-day window of departures that grows as you scroll — working late? Tomorrow's services load as soon as you reach the end of today. • A fully offline route map drawn from the timetable itself, only when you open it. No tiles. No Google Maps. No ongoing cost. • Service alerts from Metlink when they affect your favourites. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO Tere deliberately doesn't plan journeys or give turn-by-turn directions — other apps do that well. Tere answers the question that comes after: when do I need to leave, and is my bus actually coming? PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts or sign-in. • No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. • No analytics, no crash reporters, no third-party trackers. • Only one Android permission is declared: internet — for the Metlink API. Nothing else. • Your routes live only on your device. DATA Transit data © Metlink / Greater Wellington Regional Council, used under CC BY 4.0.
