Step-by-Step Instructions
Open Nearby or Transit
Launch Fleety on your iPhone or Android phone. On the bottom navigation bar, tap on Nearby to see live transit stops and upcoming departures around you.
Press & Hold the Schedule Item
Find the bus or train departure you want to check. Instead of a fast tap, press and hold your thumb down on the schedule card row.
Inspect the Stop Location on the Map
While your finger is held down, the map camera animates and zooms directly into the stop. You will see an orange target halo highlighting the exact curb, stop pole, and nearby cross-streets.
Release to Return to Your Map
Lift your finger when you’re done. The camera smoothly pulls back out to your full overview map. You stay right where you were in the schedule list, with zero back buttons needed.
Why This Gesture is a Game Changer
- Which side of the intersection? Quickly verify whether your bus stops before or after crossing a busy intersection before you start walking.
- Compare routes instantly: Hold on Route A to preview its stop, release, and hold on Route B to immediately see which one is closer to your current location.
- No loading delays: Because stop coordinates are pre-cached on your device, the map zoom animation is instant with zero lag.
