Moovit

A widely used journey-planning app covering public transport routes, timings, and live updates in major Chinese cities. About Moovit: Moovit is an international transit app (owned by Intel/Mobileye) that provides route planning, real-time arrival estimates, and service alerts for public transport, with coverage of metro and bus systems in many major Chinese cities alongside hundreds of cities worldwide. Key Features: Multi-Modal Route Planning: Combines metro, bus, and walking directions into one suggested route. Live Arrival Times: Real-time updates on when the next train or bus is expected, where data is available. Offline Maps: Download transit maps for use without an active internet connection. Works Globally: Same app and interface whether navigating a Chinese city or another city abroad. How to Get Started: Download the Moovit app and allow location access, or manually set your city. Enter your starting point and destination to see suggested routes. Compare route options by time, number of transfers, and walking distance. Follow live updates during your trip to catch each connection on time. Important Notice: Local Chinese apps like Amap (Gaode) or Baidu Maps often have more complete and up-to-date transit data for Chinese cities than international apps — Moovit is a useful backup, but check whether a local mapping app serves you better for daily use in China.
