Citymapper is an innovative journey planning and transportation technology company that has transformed the way that millions of users navigate their cities.

Powered by real-time transport information and best-in-class technology, our app recommends routes across multiple modes of transport, including metros, buses, trams, bikes, scooters, and taxis so users find the most efficient, affordable, and convenient way to reach their destination.

In March 2023, Citymapper was acquired by Via, the leader in TransitTech.

The integration of Citymapper into Via's software platform creates a unified solution for cities, transit agencies, and riders that encourages public transit usage and reduces the need for private vehicles.
