#12I live and swear by Citymapper[0] for all cities that it supports. No other app I've used has been as good for public transport as Citymapper has been.
I really hope one day one of these city transport organisations either buy it out, push for it, or license their tech.

#14This looks great! But also, the UI looks a LOT like my favorite Transit app, Transit.
Yeah, it seems like they “borrowed” the UI, especially the first tab, from the best transit app out there, Transit App.

#15This looks _very_ similar to TFL Go [0], the equivalent app for London. That's probably a good thing, as I really like TFL Go due to its focus on showing transit information as opposed to Google/Apple Maps where that is just a layer on top of shops, restaurants, hotels, etc.

Doesn’t support my city, sadly.

And even more similar to TfNSW’s Opal Travel [0], the equivalent app for Sydney. Again, not a bad thing, just very striking resemblance.

#18A quick check seems to show that it doesn't know about the Roosevelt Island Cable Car.
Apple maps helpfully recommended it to me just recently.

#19The worst thing in mapping software is Google Maps public transport.
Ten minute walk to the subway/tube then a fourteen minute ride?
Every other app, like citymapper or apple maps, tell you this takes 24 minutes.
Google Maps simply omits the walk time and incorrectly tells you the journey takes 14 minutes - making you late.
