なにをやっているのか
Citymapper is a journey planner app.
Why Citymapper?
Because you are lost. Or if you are not now you may be later...
We believe that you should have all (preferably real-time) data about using your city readily available on your smartphone, with the best design possible, personalised to you, so that you focus on experiencing your city rather than trying to survive it.
Why green?
Because green is cool, clean, healthy, natural, fresh etc, the colour you wish the city was. Plus every other app and website is blue. Blue is soo boooring. Did you ever think what would happen if we ran out of blue? The whole internet would fall apart! Did you ever think about that?!
なぜやるのか
-- The BEST APP --
Reinventing the transport app, built for commuters and their daily needs. One single app for all the different use cases and challenges of city life.
-- The BEST ROUTING --
A to B directions that humans actually use in cities. Live/real-time routing that updates every minute. The future of multimodal.
-- The BEST DATA --
Open data is great but not always enough. We've built our own tools to help agencies, heroes and superusers add and fix data. This allows us to build our own cities.
-- INTEGRATIONS --
We believe navigating cities is a utility, so we’ve built tools and widgets that any app or website can integrate to help serve its users.
-- PARTNERS --
We include data from many others including Google, Apple and OpenStreetMaps, Foursquare and Yelp, Uber and Hailo, Car2Go and Autolib, and more.
どうやっているのか
We're a small dedicated team, with HQ somewhere in London, and some based around the cities of the world, with backgrounds in transport, Google, startups, apps, design, investing and academia.
We're motivated by solving hard fundamental everyday problems that improve the quality of people's lives. We like simplifying complexity, reinventing user experience, working with data, shipping fast, and humanising a serious space.
