About Moovit

Moovit is one of the world's most used public transit apps, helping riders plan multi-modal trips using buses, trains and metro with live, crowd-sourced arrival times. It's widely used to navigate public transport in Israel.

Key Features

Multi-Modal Trip Planning: Combines buses, trains, metro, and sometimes bike-share or ride-hailing into one route plan.
Live Arrival Times: Real-time vehicle tracking and arrival estimates crowd-sourced from other riders, not just fixed timetables.
Step-by-Step Navigation: Turn-by-turn walking directions to stops and stations, plus alerts when it's time to get off.
Offline Maps and Routes: Save routes and maps for use without a data connection, useful when traveling internationally.

How to Get Started

Download Moovit and allow location access, or manually set your city.
Enter your starting point and destination to see suggested routes and options.
Choose a route based on arrival time, number of transfers, or walking distance.
Follow the step-by-step directions and live updates until you arrive.

Before you use it

Limits: Coverage here is patchy: minibuses and informal routes are often missing, so confirm the route with locals.
Good to know: Live arrival times appear only where the operator shares data; elsewhere times are timetable estimates.
