App of the Week – Transit App

TransitAppGetting around town, any town, can be a hassle. Using public transportation in a strange city is a test of your will, patience and resourcefulness. No matter what city you are in business travelers and tourists all need to get from A to B and many enjoy the option of public transportation.  Transit App allows you to plan your trip in many cities with numerous transportation options. That’s why Transit App is the App of the Week.

Transit App can display all nearby transport options and departure times instantly. Now anybody who has used public transportation in a unfamiliar city understand how difficult it can be to locate the right bus or train going to the right location. This feature is available in 92 metro areas from Ann Arbor, MI. to Nairobi, Kenya and that number is growing. If your bus or train is running late, it happens all the time on public transportation, Transit App has a remedy for that as well.  The user can quickly plan a new route, request an Uber car, or grab the closest bike share or Car2Go.

Both Car2Go and Uber are fully integrated into the Transit App allowing the user to book a car from either service through the app.

Using the full Uber integration you can;

  • View Real-Time Departures. Compare real-time ETA’s between Uber and nearby transit lines allowing the user to quickly choose the option that suits their needs. If you “star” Uber, it will appear alongside your favorite transit routes atop your Nearby Mode. You will also be able to see how busy Uber is right from the app.
  • Request your Uber car. You can request a ride right from Nearby Mode. You also have the choice to use the trip planner.
  • Compare A-to-B Journeys. Take the guessing out of trip planning. Transit App users can compare how long their trip will take with Uber or public transit, and see approximate Uber fares. They even take into account how long you’ll have to wait for pick up when providing the estimate.

This app is all about making getting around easier.

Transit App is available for Apple and Android devices, Pebble and Apple Smartwatch.
