With CityMapper you can find out the safest route to your destination, which may not be the fastest.
Sometimes the fastest way to get to your destination is not the best way. Who says so is the CityMapper application, known as one of the best applications for moving around in a city without your own car. Available in several cities, including Lisbon, CityMapper has launched a feature to make walking safer, not only during the day but especially at night.
Now, when you search for directions to get from one point to another on foot in CityMapper, you will have the option to choose between the fastest route and one through main streets. The main street route may not be the fastest but it can be the brightest and safest - advantages for anyone walking at night, especially in an unfamiliar neighborhood or city. The main street routes in CityMapper will also avoid urban parks.
With CityMapper it is also possible to share your walking route with a friend, in real time, so that he or she can know exactly where you are in case there are any problems. "We will continue to improve this and add more features, but hopefully they will already help you move around your city with confidence.", writes CityMapper.
Recently, CityMapper introduced audio instructionsYou can also use them on night hikes. With a headset in your ear you can know when you have to turn, when you are going in the wrong direction, and how long you have left to go. That way you won't have to look at your cell phone while you're alone on the street.
CityMapper is an application that offers mobility directions in several cities worldwide, and is available in Lisbon with pedestrian directions, public transport routes, cab services, GIRA station locations, shared bikes and other services. CityMapper is free to use and is available for Android e iOS.
