Moovit: Your Transit Tracker

What Moovit covers and who it suits

Moovit is a city transit app for people who travel by bus, subway, train or dockless scooter. The developer says it serves more than 930 million users in over 3,400 cities, working with public transit agencies to supply its information. The listing gives 45 languages.

According to the listing, the main use is answering when the next bus or train reaches a stop and when the last departure leaves. It also covers bus times and train schedules for any stop.

Live arrival times, alerts and favourites

Arrival times come from GPS on buses and trains, so the figures are meant to update as vehicles move. The listing presents them as up-to-the-minute arrivals rather than scheduled times.

Alerts cover service changes, delays and traffic issues, so a rider can change a plan before leaving. Reports from other users add information on station conditions, disruptions and schedules, the developer says.

Favourites let you save lines, stations and places. The app then sends updates on changes that affect those regular routes.

Directions, finding your stop and offline maps

Live guided directions run from a starting point to a destination. They show how far to walk at each stage, include real-time arrival updates, and send a notification as the rider nears the destination.

The augmented reality Way Finder is described as a way to locate a bus or train stop. The developer says it is meant to help riders avoid missing their ride.

Transit maps can be explored offline, including underground or where there is no signal. The listing says this keeps the information available without a connection.

Buying tickets and combining bike trips

Bus and train tickets can be bought and validated in the app with a tap. The listing says this is available in select cities only.

Bike routes are planned alongside transit options. The app shows updated bike docking stations and can combine a bike leg with a public transport trip, according to the listing.
