The live vehicle map: line filter, delays and what the icons mean

7 November 2026

How to use the live map in Wiesz Kiedy: filtering lines, delay badges, vehicle and stop colours, the share of vehicles online and the map's appearance settings.

The live map shows every tram and bus whose position the operator publishes. With several hundred vehicles at once, it pays to know how to keep only what matters to you.

Line filter

Tap Filter lines and:

• type a line number, e.g. “52”, or tick several lines in the list,
• use Select all and Deselect to start from scratch quickly,
• turn Trains and more on or off separately.

Only the chosen lines stay on the map; clearing the filter brings all vehicles back.

What the icons mean

• The colour depends on the type: trams, buses, trolleybuses and trains each have their own, and night, replacement and special lines stand out from regular ones.
• The arrow shows the direction of travel.
• A dark outline marks a high-floor vehicle, not accessible for wheelchairs.
• An orange stop is a request stop.
• A delay badge, e.g. “+4”, shows how many minutes the vehicle is behind the timetable.

A “?” icon means a vehicle whose line cannot be identified, e.g. one heading to the depot. You can hide these in Settings → Map.

How many vehicles you really see

A corner of the map shows e.g. “87% online”: the share of trips that should be running now by the timetable and whose position is on the map. The rest run without a working GPS transmitter or the operator does not send their data; stop departures for them come from the timetable.

A vehicle without signal

If a vehicle has not sent its position for a while, you see a note such as “No GPS · 6 min ago”. Tap it and the app shows the last known signal: where and when the vehicle was, its duty number and its delay at that time.

Map settings

In Settings → Map you can adjust:

• the map style: light, dark or following the phone's theme,
• the size and transparency of vehicle icons,
• the delay badges: only when zoomed in, always, or hidden.

Tap a vehicle

Tapping a vehicle opens its route, next stops with times and its delay. In some cities you also see the model, year and equipment; see everything about a vehicle.

You can see the live map without installing anything in your browser, in the Live tab, and the line filter works there too.
