Citymapper


Citymapper is a public transit app and mapping service. It integrates data for all urban modes of transport, from walking and cycling to driving, with an emphasis on public transport. It operates by free mobile app and a desktop website.
The underlying data is pulled from a variety of sources, including open data and local transit authorities. Some data is user-generated or collected by local employed personnel.
Citymapper started in 2011 in London, which it calls "the world’s most historic and iconic public transport city". Its second city was New York. As of December 2019, the company operates in 41 cities and metropolitan areas. Its headquarters are in London, on the South Bank, close to City Hall, where the Greater London Authority is based. Citymapper was founded by Azmat Yusuf, a former Google employee, who also serves as Citymapper's CEO.
In December 2019 the app added a feature which allows users to choose between a "fast" route or "main roads" which avoid dimly-lit areas.

Other services

In September 2017, Citymapper launched a night bus service in the East End of London.
The service in various iterations was called Smartbus, SmartRide, and Ride.
The service used eight-passenger vans, as London's transit authority, Transport for London, did not allow Citymapper to operate full-size buses.
Citymapper discontinued this service in July 2019.
In February 2019, Citymapper launched Pass, a weekly subscription that gave users access to certain forms of public transit in London.
