Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Moovit.

  • Citymapper

    A transport app that plans journeys across buses, trains, bikes and other modes in major cities.

    Citymapper covers more than 400 major cities with live bus locations and a web version, but only larger transit cities and it shows advertising.

  • Transit

    A public transport app showing nearby buses, trains and bikeshare with real-time arrivals and trip planning.

    Transit shows nearby departures on opening with real-time vehicle positions, bikeshare and GO step-by-step alerts, with usefulness depending on local data.

  • Google Maps

    Google's map and navigation service with live traffic, transit directions and Street View.

    Google Maps is free and combines public transit directions with driving, live traffic and local search, but is tied to Google's data collection.

  • Apple Maps

    Apple's map and navigation service with directions, traffic, guides and place search.

    FreeProprietarymacOSiOSWeb

    Apple Maps is free and built into iPhone and Mac, but its native apps run only on Apple platforms and there is no Android version.

  • Öffi

    An Android app for public transport journeys, live departures and network plans across Europe and beyond.

    FreeProprietaryAndroid

    Öffi is free and covers many European transport authorities with live departures and network plans, but it runs only on Android and has limited coverage outside Europe.

  • GNOME Maps

    A map application for the GNOME desktop that searches places and plans routes using OpenStreetMap data.

    GNOME Maps is a free, open-source Linux desktop app that plans public transit and pedestrian routes using OpenStreetMap data, with fewer features than large commercial services.

Also worth comparing

These listings name Moovit as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    Moovit plans public transport trips with real-time arrivals across thousands of cities on Android and iOS, focused on local transit rather than flights.
