Free to download. No account required. No ads.
Three morning decisions
01
Compare live availability, distance and favourites in one quick view. Set a weekday, future date and target arrival time to see what recent matching commutes did.
Example shown in the app
Tallawong P3 has 377 available spaces compared with 68 at P1, while Plan compares Kellyville North and South across the week for an 8:00 am arrival.Screenshot values are illustrative and are not current availability.
02
Today’s Guidance separates fill likelihood, current pressure and recent timing evidence. Optional Leave-Time Guidance adds your on-device Apple Maps drive time.
Example shown in the app
See whether today looks tight, normal or quieter than usual, with school-holiday context shown only when matching evidence is available.Guidance reflects available data and is never a guarantee of a space.
03
Monitor a selected car park from a Lock Screen Live Activity or glance at scheduled parking and favourites from Apple Watch.
Designed for the commute
See the status you care about on the surfaces already in front of you: Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch and Home Screen widgets.
supported NSW Park & Ride car parks
More than Metro
Coverage includes Sydney Metro stations, Sydney Trains lines, Gosford on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line, and Northern Beaches bus-linked Park & Ride locations.
Clear about the data
ParkRide Planner keeps them distinct so you can understand what is happening now, what usually happens, and how certain the guidance is.
Live
Current available spaces, capacity, practical status and data freshness from supported Transport for NSW feeds.
Typical
Recent matching weekdays show when a car park normally becomes tight. Comparable NSW school-holiday days are called out when enough evidence exists.
Expected
Fill likelihood, current pressure and today’s live pace add context to the historical baseline without turning an estimate into a promise.

Park & Ride Articles
The funded proposal would more than double Tallawong's official commuter parking. A BDO analysis estimates that, on some days, 2,400 motorists compete for the current 975 commuter spaces.
