Tech Savvy: Introduction to NSW Transport Apps 

For decades we’ve used public transport the same way. You’ve had to know which bus numbers to catch, which train line to use, which ferry to ride on. You needed to refer to a booklet or ask around. You’d never know if your bus or train was running late, or if you’d missed a connection. Travel apps help change all this by making getting around on public transport much easier, and potentially cheaper. You can think of an app as your personal travel agent.
