I type in my starting point (24th street in Chelsea) and my destination (in midtown), and Citymapper gives me walking, biking, bus and driving times plus suggested routes (E train in my case). This app combines every mapping app you have ever used into one yet works like just like your typical mapping app. On top of that, the app delivers nifty features including where to find the closest Citibike, calories burned while walking and the ability to use the app offline (perfect for when you’re underground in a train without signal). When you need a great user experience, transit data, real time information and the ability to find nearby subways in a glance, Citymapper answers the call. Watch it here **Īpple Maps doesn’t do it quite right. My Quick Take: **programming note: catch Shibani hosting Yahoo’s Q4 and full year earning release with CEO Marissa Mayer and CFO Ken Goldman on at 5pm ET. It will almost make you forget all about HopSt…who? What you get is a stellar and seamless map app to get from point A to B in no time flat with an incredible user experience. You get real-time routing, ability to share directions, the nearest Citibike and it even taps into the power of the sun (ok, maybe not). It took so long to mourn HopStop, am I right? But thanks to Citymapper, I have my ultimate transport app.

For serious city transit users, mapping apps are a must.
