Citymapper

Citymapper is a British public transit app and mapping service which displays transport options, usually with live timing, between any two locations in a supported city. It integrates data for all urban modes of transport, including walking, cycling and driving, in addition to public transport. It is free of charge to users, and is supported by a mobile app on devices such as mobile phones, and by an Internet website. The underlying data is pulled from a variety of sources, including open data (usually GTFS-files provided by transport authorities) and local transit authorities. Some data is user-generated or collected by local employed personnel. Citymapper started in 2011 in London. Its second city was New York. In August 2020 travel in 58 cities and metropolitan areas was covered. Citymapper was founded by Azmat Yusuf, a former Google employee, who also serves as Citymapper's CEO. In December 2019 the app added a feature which allows users to choose between a "fast" route or "main roads" which avoid dimly-lit areas. As of 2023, the company provides its services to more than 50 million users across 100 cities.
