Locating the nearest dockless bike (OFO in Hong Kong).Real-time notification of MTR Status Update, collaborating with MTR Service Update.Route and Stations Search for Red & Green Minibus.Here’s a list of features of Citymapper that you cannot find on Google Map One sweet thing worth mentioning, is that they use local snacks as a reference to calculate calories intake.
Citymapper also include the location of nearest dockless bike and scooters last year globally, forecasting their vision of a city’s future on transportation. (Given that MTR broke down all the time). In Hong Kong, Not only did all means of transport (even red & green minibus) are listed in Citymapper, they even collaborate with local transport monitor group to deliver live service update. The app’s core idea is turn people into a well-informed commuter, so user can make a the right decision to commute. While Google Map is focusing on location data and personal recommendation as announced this year at Google I/O (Considering Google core business is to collect data as much as possible), Citymapper took a different approach as it help users commute from one place to another. I took MTR in the end but I was impressed by all the localization efforts by the team since I was last used a few years back. I downloaded Citymapper ( iOS and Android, Free) again yesterday when I was looking for alternative transit route as the app include minibus. Although selected lines of MTR and bus operators have their app to share real-time next train / bus data, yet they refuse to share them with an open API, welcoming third-party apps integration like Google Map or Citymapper. Living in a city that public transport operators discourage open data, transit app is for navigation most of the time. 2 min read How to do localization right - Citymapper in Hong KongĪfter switching to Android last year, Google Map has been my first choice of transit app.
