Next Tram

Leipzig LVB · Berlin BVG · Android & Wear OS

“Hey Google, when’s the next tram?”

Tram 3 to Hauptbahnhof leaves Torgauer Platz in 6 minutes. Leave in 2.

Just ask. Next tram.

The tram app that lives inside your voice assistant. Your stop, your direction, your walking pace. One answer, and no app to open.

(01) The problem

Unlock. Open the app. Wait for it to load. Tap your stop. Pick a line. Scroll past tickets, maps and news. See the tram is four minutes late. Do the math. Miss it anyway.

You only wanted one number.

(02) Why it exists

LVB and BVG don’t talk to your assistant. Next Tram does.

(03) How it works

Fetch. Strip. Say.

The big transit apps keep their live data locked inside the app. Next Tram fetches it in real time, throws away everything you don’t need, and hands your assistant one sentence.

01 / Fetch

Live departures, the second they change.

Real-time data for Leipzig (LVB / MDV) and Berlin (BVG / VBB), with a backup source if one goes quiet.

02 / Strip

Your stop. Your line. Your direction.

Everything else goes. Delays are already added in, and trams you can’t reach on foot are dropped.

03 / Say

Ask. A timer starts. That’s it.

One sentence back, and a countdown to the moment you should walk out the door.

(04) When to leave

Know when to leave the house.

How to get there, you already know. The only question left is when to walk out the door.

(05) Direction first

Only the trams going your way.

A stop board lists every tram heading everywhere. You only ever go one way. Next Tram answers for the direction you set, and flips it for the trip home with one tap.

Sample departures

(06) Two stops

Between two stops? Set both.

Program two stops, each with its own walk. Next Tram checks both at the same time and tells you which one to head for. No more guessing whether the corner or the square is faster today.

(07) Your pace

Nobody knows your walk like you do.

The big apps guess how fast you walk. Set yours to the minute, and trams you can’t make are marked too tight before you even put your shoes on.

Leave in 2 min

    (08) Delays

    Late? Already counted.

    No more mental arithmetic on the LVB or BVG app. Delays are folded into the countdown, and punctuality comes as one plain word.

    • early
    • on time
    • late
    • +late
    • ++late

    Make it. Every time.

    (09) Private by design

    • No login.
    • No database.
    • No account.

    Your stops and walk times stay on your phone. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to leak.

    (10) On your wrist

    Turn your wrist. That’s the whole app.

    Next Tram runs on Android phones and Wear OS watches today. Read one number and keep walking.
