Vienna in motion as an app: the live timetable on your home screen
All of Vienna’s public transport on one map, with its own icon next to your apps: Vienna in motion installs on iPhone, Android and computers, without an app store, without an account and for free. It then opens without the browser bar, shows your station first and, after the first time, starts without a connection too.
In short: Vienna in motion is a web app: on iPhone in Safari via ⋯ → Share → “Add to Home Screen”, on Android in Chrome via ⋮ → “Install app”. Free, without a store and without an account.
What you get
On your home screen next to your other apps: one tap and every metro, S-Bahn, tram and bus in Vienna is moving.
No address bar, no tabs: the map gets the whole screen.
Tap “Remember as my station” on a stop’s departure board and the next departures are at the top every time you open the app.
After opening it once online, the app also starts offline, with lines and vehicles by timetable. The base map with streets and names, real-time departures, disruptions and the address search need a connection.
No store updates: every start loads the latest version.
Nothing to sign up for. What the app remembers stays on your device.
How to on iPhone and iPad
How to on Android
On a computer
Chrome and Edge show an install icon at the right of the address bar; click it, then “Install”. Vienna in motion then opens in a window of its own. Safari on a Mac: in the “File” menu, choose “Add to Dock”.
What the app does not do
It does not track vehicles: where a tram moves on the map is computed from the timetable; the departures at a stop are real. It sends no notifications. And without a connection the base map, real-time data and disruptions are missing.
Open Vienna in motion →Frequently asked
Does the Vienna in motion app cost anything?
No. No purchase, no subscription, no ads.
Why is Vienna in motion not in the App Store or on Google Play?
Because it does not need a store: Vienna in motion is a web app (PWA). The browser installs it straight from viennalivingmap.com, and updates arrive with every start instead of through a store.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
After opening it once online, yes, with lines and vehicles by timetable. The base map with streets and names, real-time departures, disruptions and the address search need a connection.
Does the app show Vienna’s public transport in real time?
The departures at a stop, yes: real time from the Wiener Linien (the S-Bahn by timetable). Where a vehicle is on the map is computed from the timetable, not measured by GPS.
Does the app collect data about me?
No. What it remembers (your station, recent routes, light or dark) stays on your device. Your location never leaves it; for real-time departures only the platform numbers of that stop go to the Wiener Linien.
Is this the same app as Vienna Living Map?
No, a separate one: Vienna in motion has its own icon and runs next to Vienna Living Map, the housing map. Both can be installed side by side.
How do I remove the app?
iPhone: press and hold the icon and choose “Remove App”. Android: press and hold the icon and choose “Uninstall”, or drag it to “Remove”.
