Vienna departures on an iPhone widget
For Vienna, PT Widgets uses Wiener Linien's official open-data service to build stop boards with expected departure times and service information. The scope is the Wiener Linien network—not every train that happens to stop inside Vienna.

Vienna coverage guide
Vienna-specific features
A board that feels familiar
The Vienna-style red housing and amber dot-matrix display are inspired by the information hierarchy of local stop monitors without using operator logos.
Expected departures and delays
The countdown uses the expected time where available, while timetable-only services remain identifiable instead of inheriting a false live status.
Stop and line service information
Wiener Linien traffic information can appear below an affected board, including disruption and short-information categories relevant to the stop.
Optional line disruption alerts
Choose Wiener Linien lines in the app to receive supported notifications when disruptions begin or end.
Useful Vienna setup choices
Combine entrances or nearby stops deliberately
Large interchanges such as Karlsplatz can represent several stop areas. Start with the station result that matches your regular line, then use filters or a combined board only when the additional departures are genuinely useful.
Save walking time for dense city trips
A four-minute departure is not useful when the stop is six minutes away. PT Widgets can use a saved walking estimate to make the board more realistic for the trip from your door or workplace.
Use automatic-by-location among favourites
People who commute between home, office and a recurring interchange can save those boards and let one widget select the nearest favourite. The location stays a functional input; manual fixed widgets still work without it.
Vienna coverage boundaries
- This page describes the Wiener Linien integration. ÖBB, S-Bahn, CAT, WESTbahn, regional VOR buses and other operators are not automatically covered just because a stop is in Vienna.
- The board shows upcoming departures up to 70 minutes ahead; it is not a full-day timetable.
- Updates are not continuous. Their frequency depends on data availability and when iOS allows the widget to refresh.
- Service messages can be broad, incomplete, delayed or not attributable to a single platform; the official Wiener Linien channels remain authoritative.
- The display is an original PT Widgets presentation and is not an official Wiener Linien product or affiliation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the Vienna widget include the S-Bahn?
Not through the current Wiener Linien integration. A stop located in Vienna does not make ÖBB or another operator part of the board automatically.
Can I show only one direction of a U-Bahn line?
Use the board's line and destination filters, then configure the specific widget in iOS if that widget needs a different view from the app's monitor.
Are Wiener Linien disruptions available?
Stop-related service information appears on boards when available, and you can enable disruption alerts for supported Wiener Linien lines.
