Moovit Expands Public Transit App

Moovit, the creator of the urban mobility app available in over 3,500 cities across 112 countries, announced that it has expanded its coverage to another 168 cities and towns across 13 U.S. states.

The Moovit app offers a total of 192 million Americans access to urban mobility information to plan their trip.

Moovit’s iOS, Android, and Web app is available for free to transit riders.

Moovit combines information from local transit agencies as well as crowdsourced information to calculate the best route for each journey with urban mobility options such as bus, train, light rail, ferry, streetcar, subway, scooter, bike, Uber, and more. 

Benefits of Moovit's App Expansion

Users in many cities also benefit from real-time information so they know exactly when their bus or train is arriving, a Live Directions feature with Get Off Alerts to provide step-by-step guidance for the entire journey, and Service Alerts so they can avoid disruptions and plan their journey accordingly.

Features especially useful for Independence Day include the most updated transit schedules to see if networks are operating on normal or holiday schedules and reports on crowding levels enabling users to avoid crowded stations and lines once events are finished.

With Moovit’s U.S. coverage expansion:

• Moovit is available in an additional 168 U.S. cities and towns, across 13 states
• Moovit is providing access to an additional 12 million Americans; a total of 192 million Americans can now use Moovit for their transit commutes
• 1,372 new routes and 41,196 new stops have been mapped and added to the Moovit app — totaling 13,663 routes and 14,126,45 stops in Moovit’s offering

• Real-time information has been added in six regions in Greater Pennsylvania and Springfield, MA, with more to come

“Our team has worked around the clock to be able to bring the most updated and reliable public transit information and guidance to 192 million Americans,” said Yovav Meydad, Moovit’s chief growth and marketing officer. “With seamless multimodal trip planning and robust features, Moovit is on a mission to make public transit more efficient, sustainable, and accessible to as many US citizens as possible. This will allow them to decrease their dependence on cars, not just on Independence Day to avoid traffic, but every day, for cleaner, better, and smarter cities.”

In select cities, Moovit users can also pay for transit tickets for a plan, pay, and ride experience. This is offered in Buffalo, Tampa, Suffolk County, and Columbus, to name a few.
