Citymapper

Citymapper is a London-based urban transit and journey-planning company, founded in 2011, that operates a consumer mobile app for iOS and Android covering more than 80 cities worldwide. The app combines public transit (bus, rail, metro, tram, ferry), micromobility (bike share, scooter, e-bike), ride-hail, walking, and driving into multi-modal routes with real-time arrivals, disruption alerts, step-by-step navigation, fare comparisons, and journey-saving features such as Get Me Somewhere, Go, and Citymapper CLUB (its paid premium subscription). In March 2023 Citymapper was acquired by Via Transportation, the New York-based TransitTech company that supplies on-demand transit, paratransit, and network-planning software to cities and transit agencies; Via integrates Citymapper as the rider-facing layer of its end-to-end transit platform alongside Remix (network planning) and Via's own on-demand operations software. Citymapper additionally offers a B2B advertising platform (ads.citymapper.com) targeting urban commuters. Citymapper previously published a self-service Directions API, a Navigation SDK (iOS, Android, Web), and Travel Time / Routing endpoints, but discontinued all self-serve developer products on 23 June 2023; remaining transit-data and routing integrations are now delivered under enterprise contracts through Via Transportation rather than via a public developer portal. There is no current public OpenAPI specification, self-serve API key, or open-access developer documentation for Citymapper.

Citymapper is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Transit, Urban Mobility, Journey Planning, Routing, and Public Transportation.
