Pro Commuter Tips
- Download on Wi-Fi Before Your Trip: Save data bandwidth by downloading your daily agency's offline schedule bundle while connected to home or office Wi-Fi.
- Subway Tunnel Essential: In underground rail stations where cellular signals cut out, offline mode allows you to check transfer timetables without waiting for reception.
- Seamless Auto-Fallback: You do not need to manually toggle anything when entering dead zones—Fleety falls back to your local cache automatically.
- Lightweight Storage: Even large metropolitan transit networks are compressed into a compact file footprint (typically under 12 MB).
Frequently Asked Questions
Does offline mode show live moving buses on the map?
Live GPS tracking requires an active internet connection to receive real-time vehicle coordinates. In offline mode, Fleety displays the full planned scheduled arrival times.
How often should I re-download offline schedules?
Most transit operators revise schedules every month or each season. Re-downloading once a month ensures you have the most up-to-date timetable changes.
Can I download schedules for multiple transit agencies?
Yes! You can download offline schedules for each transit operator you have added to Fleety.
