help Citymapper FAQ
What makes Citymapper different from Google Maps for transit?
Citymapper is focused on urban public transport and combines subway, bus, train, walking, biking, scooters, and ride-hailing in one trip planner. It often gives more transit-specific routing detail than a general maps app.
Which cities is Citymapper useful in?
Citymapper is strongest in major metro areas such as London, New York, Paris, Berlin, and other large cities with dense transit networks. It is less useful in smaller towns where live transit data is limited.
Does Citymapper show real-time departures?
Yes, in supported cities it shows real-time or live-style departures for buses, trains, subways, and other services. The exact accuracy depends on the local transit agency data feeding the app.
Can Citymapper combine public transport with bikes or scooters?
Yes. One of Citymapper's strengths is multimodal routing, so it can compare walking, transit, bikes, scooters, and ride-hailing options like Uber where supported.
