Wiesz KiedyHow to plan a public transport trip in Wiesz Kiedy: the planner step by step
A guide to the Wiesz Kiedy planner: entering start and destination, choosing the day, avoiding lines, going via a stop, setting transfer time and reading results with live delays.
The Wiesz Kiedy planner finds connections with changes and walking, and in cities with live data it counts current delays. This guide covers everything you can set in it.
Start and destination
- Open the Planner tab.
- In From, type a stop, a street with a number (e.g. “Karmelicka 45”) or a place name. Or keep your current location.
- In To, type the destination or tap a saved place such as Home.
You can also pick a point on the map: press and hold the spot and choose From here or To here. For an address or your location, the planner looks for stops within 1 km and picks the one that gets you there fastest.
When you travel
By default the planner searches from now. Tap Today to choose tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday or another day; the app downloads that day's timetable if needed. When nothing runs any more today, the planner shows tomorrow's connections straight away.
Options: via a stop and avoiding lines
Under Options there are two fields:
- Via stop: the route must pass a chosen stop, e.g. to run an errand on the way.
- Avoid lines: type numbers such as “4, 52, 139” and the planner will not use them. Handy during roadworks or when you know a line is stuck in traffic.
Vehicle types (trams only, buses only), low-floor vehicles and the number of changes are set permanently in Settings → Trip planner. That is also where you find Default transfer time and Walking speed: slow 3 km/h, normal 5 km/h or fast 7 km/h.
Reading the results
Each connection shows:
- departure and arrival time and the total travel time,
- the lines and walking legs in order,
- “Leave in X min” or “Leave now!”: when to leave home, with the vehicle's delay already counted,
- next to a line, “+3 min” or “on time” from live data, and when a line is usually late at this time, “usually +2 min”,
- a warning if any line has disruptions, and the ticket price if prices are on.
Tap a connection to see every stop, change and the route on the map. At the bottom of the list there is Show later, and Return trip swaps start and destination in one go.
Why does the planner sometimes suggest a longer trip?
Because the shorter one would need a change you will not make. In cities with live data the planner checks where vehicles really are and does not suggest connections that only work on paper. More in A planner that knows about delays.
