I don't understand why the app doesn't use the most direct bus even though I pick 2 stops that run along the same bus route. There's no way to custom build a route either? Let us choose buses or trains. I keep adjusting my arrival times but that 1 direct bus never shows up. Another website shows the easiest route but doesnt provide tracking. This app seems to have tracking, but pulls apps from Google which are inefficient. There's a reason users are looking for alternatives.

awesome app. used it often while vacationing in London in 2024. (walking, taxi, bus). Couldn't have made it around without city mapper. While planning the trip I used Google maps, but it never gave me a choice to use ferries. City mapper will give you best route and alternate routes. Sometimes it made us walk to an underground for 15min when one was right next to us. It also doesn't see you're out of the subway, but you can restart your search and it will work fine. (Android)

Best travel app you can get. All the info you could possibly need, set out easily. Two minor gripes/requests: (on the London map), please label the tube stops (they're not named when zooming in/out of the map), and it's not easy to find the general tube map to see where the lines go (I've seen it on the app sometimes but cannot find it now at all).

What's new

So, we can tell by the time you start your walk, you’re on the move, no time to tap. The music’s up and the weather’s warm, you’ve planned a trip, but you don’t press GO. Now it’s all good, we’ve got you, you can just get on your way. ’Cause we’ve come to understand the city streets’ effect on plans. So when you take the bus or when you take the train, you’re staying Live, ’til you arrive. Your ETA is changing for whichever one you’re taking and you’re staying Live, ’til you arrive…
