Moovit, an Israeli urban trip planning app, has unveiled a new feature that allows users to track the transit line’s movements on a map in real-time. The company says the new feature, which is in addition to Moovit’s real-time arrival countdown gives users a new level accuracy and certainty for their commutes.
“The live site offers the ability to see transit lines, displayed on the map as icons, and move along the map as they advance (or lag) along their journey,” Yoav Medad, chief growth and marketing officer at Moovit, told TechCrunch via email. This feature can be accessed via every Moovit screen. The action bar at bottom of the screen displays a real-time countdown.
The live location feature is now available for buses, trains, trams, subways, ferries, and cable cars—anything with GPS tracking installed—in more than 220 cities in 38 countries, and Moffitt says more to follow.
It’s one of the most useful features. Google Maps has been added to its own serviceIt was four years ago.
Riders who would like to see where their current line is located should click on the “Live location” button in the lower bar. Moovit users will be able to see the minibus icon at their stop by staring at their phones.
Mayad stated that riders will be able to see the last update of their tracking data and receive service alerts. He also noted that multiple lines can be seen on a map simultaneously.
“This additional context layer allows users to have everything they need to compare options in real time to make the best decision for them to easily reach their destination,” Medad said.
