City Mapper
When you visit a new city, whether it’s here in the US or abroad, understanding the best ways to get around that city is an essential task.
Google Maps does a pretty good job, but if you’re looking for something more focused on navigating public transit options, checkout an app called City Mapper https://citymapper.com
City Mapper offers both a website and mobile apps that can quickly show you all your options for getting to and from any two locations. Not only does it give you options for taxis, buses and rail services, it also includes bicycle and walking options.
In cities that offer rental bikes and scooters, City Mapper will tell you how many are available at any of the docking stations near you.
They’ll show you the best options right now or based on a time that you want to arrive or leave a specific location.
This is the most comprehensive navigation app that I’ve ever seen. It’s currently limited to about 40 cities around the world but you can help them expand by voting for the next city to be added.
