Citymapper

Urban journeys, planned around public transport

Citymapper is a Maps & Navigation app for getting across cities by public transport, walking, cycling, taxis, bikes and scooters. It compares available routes so you can weigh travel time, cost and transport mode in one place. It suits daily commuters, visitors navigating an unfamiliar city and anyone combining several ways of getting around.

Useful detail for complicated trips

The app goes beyond drawing a line between two points. It can provide step-by-step guidance for transit, walking and cycling journeys, with live arrival information and service updates where local transport data is available. For large stations, its directions can include guidance on which train car to use and which exit is most practical for the destination. That level of detail is especially helpful on routes with transfers or sprawling underground networks.

What to consider

• Best fit: people who rely on buses, trains and other shared or mixed transport in supported cities.
• Strong point: route comparisons bring public transport and other urban travel options into the same planning view.
• Watch for: the quality and depth of live information depend on the city and its available transport data.
• Interface: the information-rich layout is practical for trip planning, though it may feel busy if you only need simple point-to-point directions.

Popularity and publisher

Citymapper is published by Citymapper Limited and has more than 10,000,000 installs. Its listed rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 358,714 reviews, suggesting strong overall approval while still leaving room for differences between cities, routes and travel habits. If your journeys regularly involve public transport changes, the app’s specialist focus is more relevant than a general map alone.
