Citymapper is a public transport journey planner. Azmat Yusuf founded it in London, where the app launched in 2011. It now covers many cities across Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. Via, the transit technology company, bought Citymapper in 2023.
The app combines buses, trains, trams, metros, ferries, bike share, scooters and walking to find the fastest route. It shows live departure times, service disruptions and which carriage to board for a quick exit. Go mode gives step by step directions and alerts the user when to get off. Users can save home and work, compare costs, check step free routes and see how busy a service is likely to be.
Citymapper is free with ads in some places. Citymapper Club is an optional paid subscription that removes ads and adds extra features. The app runs on iOS, Android and the web. It is widely used by commuters and visitors in London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Toronto and other large cities, and it is often the first transport app tourists download when they arrive.
