I recently came across KRAIL, and it's now my main app for longer train trips. The UI is super simple and it does the job very well. Thanks for making KRAIL.

I collected one of your flyers from Schofields Station, downloaded the app and tried it. The interface is clean and modern. Thank you for creating this transport platform.

Discovered your app through a Reddit post and I am absolutely loving it! Most of my friends agree the simple UI is way more appealing. Gen z do be a sucker for nice gradients. 4 of my friends use it daily now.

Thank you so much for creating this app. It's so easy to follow and having the train times and parking availability in the same app is a bonus. Great job, I've started using it already.

This is the best travel app I have used so far. User friendly, easy to navigate, colorful, real-time updates. A one stop shop for all Sydney explorers.

Best trip planning app for Sydney by far. The customisation options make the app feel fresh, and the super nice gradient when viewing trips is very nice to look at.

An open letter to Sydney

Why I built KRAIL.

For years, getting from A to B in Sydney meant juggling three apps. One for trains. One for parking. One for the bus that never came. None of them felt like they were actually built for you.

KRAIL is built ground-up for Sydney, only Sydney · from Tallawong's parking lottery to Town Hall's three exits, from the 6am dark to the Friday-night ferry. Every feature comes from a moment a Sydney commuter has actually lived.

There are things in KRAIL you won't find anywhere else. Live parking before the driveway. Stops renamed in words you actually use. Saved trips that remember themselves. Apps don't have to choose between beautiful and useful.

I know you've got an app you're used to. Fair. Give KRAIL a week. If it doesn't quietly become your morning app, tell me why · I read every email.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

Is KRAIL really free?
Yes. Free for every Sydney commuter until December 2026. No subscription. No sign-up. No catch.
Are there ads in the app?
None right now. KRAIL is ad-free through December 2026. After that, ads and paid options may be introduced to support the growing demand.
Where does the live data come from?
Straight from Transport for NSW · the same feed the platform departure boards run on. If it's on the platform screen, it's in KRAIL. When they're wrong, we're wrong. When they fix it, we fix it within minutes.
How is KRAIL different from other Sydney transit apps?
Other apps are built for every city, or built by a department. KRAIL is built ground-up for Sydney, by someone who rides this network every day.

The 7am parking lottery at Tallawong? Solved. Walking out the wrong exit at Town Hall? Solved. Guessing if the bus is 3 minutes or 15? Solved.

There are things in KRAIL you won't find anywhere else · live parking before the driveway, stops renamed in your own words, themes for the 6am crowd, saved trips that remember themselves. Beautiful AND useful · apps don't have to choose.
Does my station have live parking?
Live parking is available at 20+ Sydney stations · the busiest park-and-ride hubs across the network. We add more as TfNSW exposes live data for them.

For everything else · Trains, Metro, Buses, Ferries, Light Rail and regional coaches · if TfNSW services it, KRAIL covers it.
Who built KRAIL?
One Sydney commuter named Karan, on a mission to create a delightful digital commute across Sydney. Available on iPhone and Android.
