- A Free Tram Zone information screen that will show on first load after app install / update
- One-time download of the network map effective January 1 2015, highlighting the Free Tram Zone
- Updates to the Nearby, Favourite and myTRAM views
- Indication of Free Tram Zone stops on maps and tram arrival screens
