Create shortcuts and run them use Siri without opening the app, allowing you to:

- Get Siri to announce arrival times without picking up your phone, while wearing AirPods.
- View arrival times for multiple bus routes. For example, if there are multiple routes from your home to your workplace, you can create a shortcut to show the arrival times for all those routes, making it easy to see which one has a bus arriving first. By creating such shortcuts for each frequently visited location, you can simply say to Siri, "Return home from [a certain place]," and immediately see the arrival times for various routes from that location!
