Citymapper
London, United Kingdom
What it is
Citymapper is a mobility app for navigating cities and planning journeys, available for Android and iOS. Its route recommendations weigh speed, affordability, simplicity, physical effort, and disruption risk. Travelers can filter choices such as bus-only, train-only, simple, mixed, and step-free routes, though availability varies by city. The app shows bus locations on a map, refreshes them every minute, and provides traffic-based travel and arrival times. Voice guidance covers walking, cycling, scooting, and public transport, with turn instructions and transit alerts. Users can sync a phone's system calendar to see upcoming events with routes and departure times. Step-free routing is free; Citymapper says wheelchair-accessible routes are available in 20 regions and counting. The company says its consumer app is available in major cities worldwide, supported by a mobility data operation covering public and private transport. A free plan includes journey planning and app features with ads. Citymapper CLUB is listed at £1.49/mo for an ad-free app. Organizations can also use its SDKs and APIs to add routing and navigation to other products.
