Now you can find out in advance about possible traffic jams on the route of the bus you want to take. This feature of the CityMapper app helps you plan your journeys better, improving the experience of using public transport.
Cars create the traffic in which they then get stuck. But buses are also affected by this, resulting in delays that drive passengers to despair and break people's trust in public transport. Real-time timetables help to plan journeys, but another crucial piece of information is whether the bus will hit traffic on the way.
CityMapper, one of the best navigation apps for those using public transport in Lisbon, has just launched a feature that will help many people in their day-to-day lives. Now, when we search for how to get from A to B and if that route involves bus travel, CityMapper will give us an overview of the traffic situation. If there is congestion, the app will warn the user, allowing them to be prepared for any delays.
On the journey map, we can see whether there will be a lot or a little traffic on the bus route, depending on whether the route we see on the map is more or less surrounded by a red-orange line, and whether the color of the line is closer to red or orange.
Many drivers use Waze to plan their journeys by car, and the app has become popular for indicating the routes with the least traffic and warning of unforeseen events. CityMapper now promises to do the same for those who travel by public transport. The application is available for cell phones iOS e Androidbut also in the browser. Several features are only available in mobile apps, such as this traffic app.
