Tech Savvy | Transport Apps | English

Next date: Monday, 24 March 2025 | 10:00 AM to 12:15 PM

Join us at Eastwood Library to become more Tech Savvy by learning how to select the right transport app on your smartphone or tablet.

For decades we’ve used public transport the same way. You’ve had to know which bus numbers to catch, which train line to use, which ferry to ride on. You needed to refer to a booklet, or ask around. You’d never know if your bus or train was running late, or if you’d missed a connection.

Travel apps help change all this by making getting around on public transport much easier, and potentially cheaper. You can think of an app as your personal travel agent.

In this workshop you’ll learn what an app is, and how to use different transport apps for trains, buses and other forms of public transport to get around. The activities within this course are optional, depending on attendees’ knowledge or requirements.

You will need:

• To bring your own smartphone/tablet
• Apple ID/password or Google Play account/password in case you need to download any apps demonstrated during the session
• An active Opal card.

Bookings open Monday 24 February by calling Ryde Library on 9952 8352 or seeing library staff. NOTE – these sessions are designed for seniors (60+ years).
