# Swiss public transport

> Swiss public transport is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 520 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Swiss public transport is a built-in integration that tracks public transport connections between stations. It adds sensors for delay, departure, the next two departures, line, platform, transfers and trip duration. Each connection has a start station, an end station and up to five via stations the route must pass through. The departure time can be fixed to a time of day or shifted by an offset, for example to allow for the walk to the station. It can also track the arrival time at the end station instead of the departure time. A Fetch connections action returns a list of connections, data comes from the vendor's cloud, and setup is done in the UI.
