The transit display that tells you when to leave
Transit Board is a live arrival sign for your wall — but it does more than mirror the stop. It shows only the buses you can actually catch, learns which predictions to trust, and tells you the moment to walk out the door.

Anyone can show a countdown. Transit Board tells you what to do with it.
It combines the walk to your stop with the live prediction and puts one clear line on top: leave now, or in three minutes. No mental math at the door.
Predictions drift and ghost buses vanish. Transit Board watches how each line actually performs and flags how much to trust the number — so "4 minutes" means four minutes.
Every line gets its own color, stops are marked, and each bus moves stop by stop along its route — so you can see where your ride is at a glance.
Set it up once. It runs itself.
Drag the pin to any corner — or tap "Use my location." No stop codes, no setup files.
Transit Board locates the nearest stops and the lines that serve them, in each direction.
The board updates continuously and hides buses you couldn't reach in time — so every line shown is one you can catch.
The same board and map, from a $-free download to a finished wall unit.
A purpose-built, privacy-first smart display — visual only, no microphone, no camera. Your board sits in the center; a quiet border adds weather, transit alerts, and widgets for the whole picture at a glance.

Next two arrivals per line, updating in place — with destinations that gently cycle between both directions.
Walk-time filtering hides anything you couldn't reach in time, using the walking minutes to each stop.
A single walking figure marks a standard bus; two figures mean a longer articulated bus is coming.
Rotate to a clean map where every line has its own color, stops are marked, and each bus advances stop by stop along its route.
Not tied to one neighborhood — set any location by pin or device geolocation and it re-centers.
A built-in budget batches requests and backs off automatically, so it stays within the data provider's limits.
Honors your system's reduced-motion setting, easing the carousel and transitions when you ask it to.
A confidence dot on each line shows how well its predictions have held up — so you know which numbers to trust and which to hedge.
On the paid and hardware tiers, live data is handled for you — no token to request, paste, or manage. The open-source build still lets you bring your own.
Put a branded next-departures board in your lobby — an amenity residents and members actually use. Runs on the screens you already have.
