The app makes daily journeys easier: check connections, buy tickets and plan routes. Downloading is free; some services inside may be paid — you always see this before confirming.

- Timetables, routes and tickets on your phone
- Free download from official stores
- Works on Android and iOS
- Regular updates from the developer
Who it is for
Northern suits anyone who moves around the city every day: commuters, students and visitors who do not want to waste time on paper timetables. It also holds up on trips between cities.
Getting started
Install Northern from the official store, open it and complete the short sign-up — usually a phone number or email is enough. On first launch the app asks for the permissions it needs (for example, location); grant them, otherwise some features will not work. Then set your city or region so Northern shows content relevant to your area.
What to watch for
The basic version of Northern is free, but some services may cost extra — check the price before confirming. Coverage in smaller towns can be thinner than in big cities; in our test it worked nationwide. Keep the app updated — new versions improve stability and security.
