'Waze for public transport' app Moovit gains new Ride Mode and support for more cities
Moovit, the popular navigation app widely considered “the Waze for public transport,” has just received a notable update.
First and foremost, the latest update to Moovit introduces Ride Mode. This new mode lets you know the time you’re most likely to reach your stop. To enable Ride Mode, just open a line’s schedule, tap the Play button at the top bar of the schedule, and check the real-time ETA displayed right within Moovit.
Note that just by riding with the app open on your iOS device, you’re doing your part in making Moovit better for your fellow public transit travelers around the world.
