This is very cool! I love the idea of having a device dedicated to local transit as opposed to having another thing pulling me to my phone. I wish there was something similar for American cities.

This looks nice. Can you explain what the purpose of the app is though?

Also, "Indoor use only" is a very big limitation.

If this is only for Switzerland, why the English website?

Reminds me of this project that just came up on DC's reddit:

Seems like it could be done as a phone app? Anyway, departure times are only part of the problem. I often want to know the arrival time of a train that has already departed, because I have to pick up a passenger who is aboard an incoming train. Or in the case of buses (nextbus.com in the US), I'm already on board bus #123 and I want to know its current location as a position on the bus route, so I can estimate how long til I reach my desired stop. This is for cases when the bus is going through an unfamiliar part of a city. The data is already on the servers, so it's annoying that the apps don't use it.

That's really neat! And I fully get what this is for, it would actually be handy for me. Instead of having to open the SBB app I could hang this on my wall and then see when the buses I always take at the station closest to me leave.

Does it support ships, cable cars and trains that leave the country as well?

A neat additional feature could be an NFC tag next to the entries that I could tap my phone on in order to trigger a ticket purchase.
