Checking when your bus or train arrives normally means opening an app, waiting for it to load, and navigating to your stop. A public transport arrival shortcut for iPhone surfaces live arrival times for your regular stops instantly — configured once, available forever. One tap from your home screen and you know exactly whether you need to run or can walk.
The shortcut is pre-configured with your regular bus stop or station. It fetches live arrival times from your local transit API or the Apple Maps transit data and displays the next two or three arrivals in a notification. You can create one shortcut per regular stop and line them up on your home screen.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Show the next bus arrivals at my local stop').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the transport checker shortcut.
