Park & Ride

Live parking, before the driveway.

Tallawong at 7:05 is a parking lottery. Kellyville fills up by 7:15. Bella Vista has a few spots left, but you have to know that before you drive.

KRAIL shows live parking availability at 20+ Sydney stations, updated every minute. See exactly how full each station is before you leave home.

Map view

Walk out the right exit.

Just tell KRAIL where you're going. It builds the full journey · which lines connect, where to change, which platform to head to. You don't need to know the network by heart before you leave.

Every leg has a map. Tap any stop to see your exact street. Which side of the road the bus pulls in on. Which platform to walk toward. Where to change trains without crossing back over.

1 in 5 KRAIL users switch to map view, and stay.

Wynyard becomes Work.

You know the stops. KRAIL lets you name them. Label Wynyard as "Work". Label your street corner as "Home". Label that stop near the gym · you know the one. Your labels show up everywhere in the app, replacing the raw stop name with the word that actually means something to you.

The smallest feature. The biggest difference when you're half-asleep at 7am.

Real-time parking slot updates are an absolute game changer. Reliable, accurate, and super convenient. Being a train driver myself, I can really appreciate how well-designed and practical it is.

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.

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.
Do I need to create an account?
No account. No email address. No password to forget. Open KRAIL and it's straight to your departures.

Your saved trips and preferences are stored on your device. Nothing goes through a login wall. Just open the app and go.
Can KRAIL plan a route from A to B?
Yes. Enter where you're starting and where you're going · KRAIL builds the full multi-modal journey. Which train or bus to take, where to change, and which platform or exit to head for.

You don't need to know the interchange before you open the app. KRAIL works it out.
Does KRAIL support accessibility (A11y)?
Yes. KRAIL ships with a large-text mode that goes bigger than your phone's system default · every screen, every departure board, every label. One setting in the app, not buried in your phone's system preferences.

Dark mode is built in from day one (not retrofitted), with soft contrast ratios designed to be readable at arm's length at 6am. A11y isn't an afterthought. It's in the original design.
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.
How is KRAIL different from other Sydney transit apps?
A few things you won't find combined anywhere else:

Live parking at 20+ stations. See actual slot availability before you leave the driveway. No other Sydney transit app has this.

Journey planning without needing to know the network. Just say where you're going. KRAIL handles the interchange.

Zero setup. No account. No sign-up. Open the app, ride the city.

Built for Sydney's specific pain points. The Tallawong parking lottery. The wrong exit at Town Hall. The bus that's "3 minutes" until it isn't. KRAIL was built by someone who rides this network every day.
Does my station have live parking?
Live parking is available at 20+ Sydney stations · the busiest park-and-ride hubs across the network, including Tallawong, Kellyville, and Bella Vista. Counts update every minute, straight from the station barrier.

No other Sydney transit app shows this. We add more stations as TfNSW exposes live data for them.
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.
Who built KRAIL?
One Sydney commuter named Karan, on a mission to create a delightful digital commute across Sydney. Available on iPhone and Android.
