Wiesz KiedyJakdojade, Google Maps, Moovit or Wiesz Kiedy? Public transport apps in Poland compared
Which app for buses and trams in Poland? We compare Jakdojade, Google Maps, Moovit and Wiesz Kiedy: planner, live vehicles, tickets, ads, offline use.
At the stop two things matter: when will my tram really come, and will I make my change? Each popular app answers that a little differently. Below is what really sets apart the four most used in Poland. Yes, one of them is ours, so we have stuck to checkable facts and say plainly what Wiesz Kiedy does not do.

Jakdojade
The most popular public transport app in Poland and the only one of the four that sells city tickets in dozens of cities. It has train tickets too. The planner is polished, and in some cities you can see live departures and vehicles. The free version has ads; paid Premium removes them and adds, among other things, navigation with change reminders and widgets.
Who it suits: if you buy tickets on your phone, Jakdojade is hard to replace.
Google Maps
Convenient because it is already on your phone, and good at combining transit with walking, cycling or driving. In many cities it shows departure times using the operator's live data. But it will not show all of a city's trams on one map, tell you which line is usually late, or give you a departure board for a whole interchange.
Who it suits: occasional trips and unfamiliar cities, abroad too.
Moovit
An international app that works in thousands of cities worldwide, so it is good for travel. It has real-time arrivals where operators provide them, and get-off reminders. Coverage and data quality in Polish cities can be patchy.
Who it suits: if one app should work in many countries.
Wiesz Kiedy
We focus on one thing: that you know when it will really come. That is why:
- every vehicle on a live map, with its line number, direction and delay, in 30 of 32 cities and metro areas (where the operator publishes positions);
- the planner counts current delays: a change that only works on paper will not be suggested;
- line punctuality measured every minute: you know which line is usually late and at what time;
- today's and tomorrow's timetable on your phone, so departures and planning work without signal;
- no account, with free home-screen widgets, and a browser version in English. Ads will soon support the app, but never on the map, during guidance or over a timetable.
What we do not do: we do not sell tickets (we show which ticket is enough instead), and there is no iPhone version yet, only Android and the browser.
Which to choose?
- You buy tickets in an app: Jakdojade.
- You travel the world: Moovit or Google Maps.
- You want to know where your tram is and whether you will make it, without an account and without paying: Wiesz Kiedy.
Nothing stops you using two: many people buy tickets in one app and check departures in another. Try Wiesz Kiedy in your browser right away, with nothing to install.
