I use Citymapper whenever I'm in NYC. In my experience, it's much better than Google Maps at providing alternate routes and predicting how long travel will take.
It also has many small touches that add up. My favorite ones are that Citymapper will tell you the optimal subway entrance to enter/exit and even which section of the train (front, middle, or back) to get on based on which one is closest to the exit in your destination stop.
- wildfire 7y agoLike many others, I have used CityMapper extensively in London, Berlin, Paris, Sydney, etc. With public transport, and using the same data Google Maps has access to, it just gives better results except for walking. I don't quite understand how the walking component of the routing is always so bad compared to Google Maps. I routinely end the trip when the walking section is on, and switch to Google Maps because it is so much better than CityMapper. If they could fix that, they would have a killer app on their hands.
