Citymapper

Urban travel planning in one place

Citymapper is a public transport and city navigation app for commuters, visitors, and anyone moving through a busy urban area. It compares routes across buses, trains, subways, ferries, walking, cycling, taxis, ride-sharing, and shared scooters where those services are available. The app is most useful when a journey involves several connections and a standard map does not show the practical differences between them.

Built around the details of a trip

Search results can compare travel time, route changes, and transport modes so you can choose between a faster trip, a simpler connection, or a lower-cost option when that information is available. Live transit data can show updated arrival information and service changes, helping you adjust when a bus or train is delayed.

• Step-by-step guidance: Follow walking, cycling, and public transport directions while travelling, including instructions for transfers.
• Station guidance: In supported networks, Citymapper can indicate which part of a train to use and which exit is more convenient for the destination.
• Disruption awareness: Service alerts and line updates help you spot interruptions before they affect the rest of your journey.

Who it suits

Citymapper is a strong fit for regular transit users who want more than a simple point-to-point route. It is also useful for visitors learning a new city, especially when an interchange is large or several transport options are available. Coverage and live information depend on the city and the local transport data supported by the app, so its usefulness can vary by location.

Popularity and publisher

Published by Citymapper Limited, the app has a 4.8/5 rating from more than 358,000 reviews and records 10,000,000+ installs. Those figures place it among the more established choices in the Maps & Navigation category, particularly for people whose daily travel depends on urban public transport.
