39,261 stops, built in

Every stop in Greater Sydney and on the intercity network, ready the moment you install the app, and kept up to date without an app update.

Shoo.Search

To search a stop, show its lines and draw a vehicle along its route, Shoo. needs the whole network on your phone. Transport for NSW publishes it as timetable bundles. The bus one alone is about 100 MB, far too much to download and unpack on a phone.

Every stop of a ride, straight from the built-in index.

Built on a server, every week

Every Sunday night, a server builds one compact index from all seven bundles: 39,261 stops in the current build. It refuses to publish anything that looks smaller than Sydney’s network, so a broken download can never reach you.

Your phone checks for a new index at most once a day. When there is one, it downloads it on Wi-Fi, checks it, and swaps it in while you use the app. New routes reach everyone within a week, with no app update.

Ready on day one. Since build 55, the latest index ships inside the app, so a new install starts with every stop and never downloads it again.
