Moovit: Always up to date timetables of public transport
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
There are quite a number of browsers for iOS. As a rule, each of these applications has its own advantages and disadvantages, but unites them all is that they are intended exclusively for trips in his car. But not all have your own car or a person prefers public transport seat in a traffic jam. However, getting from one point to another route, one must not only know the direction (as well as transplants if they are available), but the timetable. And with that, we can help Moovit application that builds the required route and tell you what time to be better suited to a stop.
Moovit - is another social platform. Information about timetables of public transport are taken from the companies-carriers and edited thanks to the community of users, if the source data is not accurate. For example, Moovit knows that the bus №1 going from point A to point D with a stop at point B. Scheduled stop he would do at 12 pm, and going up to it at this time, the application the user has to see approaching traffic. But the road can happen different incidents (accidents, traffic jams) - this may delay the bus, as well as the shift schedule. And if at this time a different user Moovit will ride on this bus with a running application, adjustments will be made in real time (although this work, unfortunately, did not check managed). In the same trip, you can create a report on the progress path.
Yet the main advantage of the application - the schedule of routes. Often, coming to a stop in an unfamiliar part of town, you can simply not find a sign indicating the time slots transport, in fact, as the index numbers of routes. And, of course, on passing buses / trams / trolleybuses read the way they appear simply not enough. In this case, Moovit - the perfect assistant. When you open the application will be determined by your geolocation, and will be stopping points on the map. On each of them, you can click and see what kind of traffic is stopped at a particular bus stop, as well as his route with a detailed timetable.
In addition, Moovit is the navigator. If you want to go from another county (city, country) to his home, then just we build a route from your current location to the street to the house. The application is built on the route point to your coordinates to the nearest transport stop and then to your final destination (subject to direct, if any). As a bonus Moovit calculate the estimated arrival time, given all the transitions and transplantation. It should be noted that the number of vehicles is not limited to standard buses, trolleybuses and trams. For example, I have in St. Petersburg Moovit several times offered to me to swim on akvabuse, instead of standing in traffic jams. Metro and quite extravagant funicular is also available.
Another of the advantages, in addition to a free app, it is possible to note the application work in the cities not only in Russia but also in Europe with the United States. Though the developers and say that the support in Russia is carried out only in Moscow, I, being in another city, I can say that it works quite well. But then of course all depends on the community itself. After all, the more people will use the application, the more informative and user-friendly it will be over time.
