  6. I feel like supporting alternatives to Google Maps is an important thing to do but #Citymapper do not make it easy. Inaccurate transport times presented as accurate, a somewhat clumsy UI (though the local stations schedule is great), and asking me to accept 344 tracking cookies on a weekly basis. Even though I pay for it.

  7. Huh, I tried to install #Citymapper on a #Fairphone6 with #eOS and it mostly seems to work, except when I want to enter an address, which opens and then immediately closes the selector as if it validated the currently entered one... Which renders the whole of the app basically useless.

  8. I’m sorry - 349 partners? Why does Citymapper need to allow that many adtech companies to “use cookies and similar technologies” to “store and access” … “precise geolocation data”?

    I was (until today) a paying customer and even wrote a popular blog post recommending them a few years back - this is extremely disappointing.

    What OSM-based transit & bike routing should I switch to?

  9. We were traveling out of Barcelona when the #SpainBlackout hit. We were actually waiting in line for the train. Power went out and cell service cut around noon. I was able to get wifi from a nearby hotel (I hope room 123 doesn't mind). I found an outage map for the city, but the map was entirely down. I overheard someone say it was national and found an article about that, but there really wasn't any info yet.

    After waiting for a while with no info, the train station was evacuated. My partner found a route by bus. So we took our kids and bags and started walking. Finding the right stop was challenging. #OrganicMaps doesn't seem to have bus lines and #CityMapper doesn't do great offline. The kids don't sleep well when traveling, so this was all compounded by several days of sleep deprivation.

    Navigatng was difficult. We managed to find a hotel with a generator who let us use their wifi to update our maps.

    So we traveled across the city. Trafic lights seemed to be the only things with power, though there were places those didn't work. Metro and tram were down. There seemed to be exra buses, all of them packed. The roads were packed with cars.

    It wasn't posible to get a regional bus ticket since the ticket machines were all down. The bus we were looking for didn't seem to actually exist and none of the bus drivers could answer questions. My spanish is not great and I didn't focus a lot on improving it since I'm already overwhelmed with learning dutch.

    After not being able to find the bus for a while, we were almost going to head back to the hotel and ask for a room. Then the power came back on. We got a regional bus ticket. After waiting for another hour or so, the bus never came. We went back to the hotel and were able to get a room.

    Wifi at the hotel didn't work after power came back, cell service was still down. Duo is mad at me.

    I have been off my disaster prep game for a bit, and was especially off while traveling. I have some notes...
    1. Always have cash.
    2. Download maps in advance (you can do this for google maps also, but you can't route without internet).
    3. Download translation languages in advance.
    4. Always have extra water and snacks.
    5. Pack light so you don't have to haul massive amounts of luggage everywhere.
    6. Keep battery packs topped off, where possible.

    Traveling with kids is hard under normal conditions. It's funny, I'm actually more calm in a crisis. Our kids did really well despite walking for hours around Barcelona (or perhaps because of it).

    It's interesting how the city prioritized cars by prioritizing power to traffic lights, but that just clogged everything with cars and made bus travel harder. The metro is generally better, imho, in Barcelona because it doesn't have the car problem. Barcelona appears to be deeply unprepared for actual emergencies. A lot of cities are.

    This is a good reminder that solar power and distributed grids are really important. Dedicated power to mass transit like trains and metro would help evacuate the city. Better bike infrastructure makes it easier to get around when cars clog the streets. I can see how much work is being done in this area, but there's a lot of room to improve. Cars are basically the worst solution for several reasons, including that they caused the problem in the first place.

    I hope Europe learns from this and continues to move towards greater resiliency. #ClimateChange is going to make things like this happen more often, and centralization makes small disasters larger and makes disaster response slower. Deploying a bunch of cops is not a solution to anything.

    Edit: added note about batteries.

  10. I’m on my way home and this is what #CityMapper reports are about as coherent as I am

  11. Any decent, mobile web based #transit planner for #NYC or #DC? Don't want to download an app. The one I was using, years ago, #Citymapper, seems to have gone to shit.

  12. I’ve been in #London all week. The #CityMapper app has not let me down. :pepe_cool:

  13. @sashin Looks like #Citymapper does it! But it’s only for specific cities. It’s a great app though!

  14. Now #GoogleMaps is uglified I've been trying out #Citymapper. The trip widget for public transport on #iOS is superbly done.

  15. @mtyka #Citymapper has pretty precise stop locations and supports Berlin. It might work better for you!

    Vor einiger Zeit schon bin ich bei Mikka neben vielen Argumenten für eine Apple Watch Ultra - obwohl ich keine Taucher bin - auf die App Citymapper aufmerksam geworden. Ergebnis der Lektüre war dann, dass meine nächste Apple Watch eine Ultra wird (nächstes Jahr dann) und ich mir Citymapper installiert habe.

    Zugegeben, in Oldenburg brauche ich die App eher selten, aber ich war dieses Jahr…

    Zugegeben, in Oldenburg brauche ich die App eher selten, aber ich war dieses Jahr ja auch etwas mehr unterwegs als in den Corona-Jahren und da ist die App wirklich sehr nützlich (sofern die jeweilige Region auch darin verfügbar ist, trifft leider nicht auf alle zu). Neben ÖPNV und teilweise öffentlichen Fernverkehr liefert Citymapper auch Routen für Fußmärsche, das Fahrrad und als Optionen auch eScooter oder Taxis via FreeNow. Ungemein praktisch.

    Dazu kann man die Route auch nach Kriterien wie „Weniger gehen“, „Einfach“ oder „Turbo“ planen lassen. Sehr praktisch, wenn es regnet, man sich die Route möglichst gut merken oder eben so schnell wie möglich ans Ziel kommen möchte. In 20 Regionen sind auch schon Rollstuhl-geeignete Routen verfügbar.

  22. Kann ich nur noch einmal betonen, wie sehr ich #citymapper liebe? Eine solide App, die genau das tut, was auf der Kiste steht. Und die das besser als 99.9% aller "offiziellen" Apps tut.

  23. I did not realise #Citymapper had made the Premium Features free and changed the Premium Subscription to being a “No Ads” option.

    It was a pleasant surprise. I found out when it started offering me #iOS #LiveActivities - they were previously Paywalled and I was pretty disappointed when they announced that because it’s a great feature on #iPhone I don’t get much opportunity to use

  24. That's weird: #Citymapper just made all the features that were exclusive to their CLUB subscription free, while turning it into a simple ad-free subscription for cheaper.
    Maybe they realized that CLUB was too expensive for the features it added, thus almost nobody had been subscribed?

    Update: it might have something to do with its recent acquisition by US-based Via last month content.citymapper.com/news/25

  25. Nice, die Live Activities sind bei #Citymapper #iOS ab sofort kostenlos nutzbar! Leider aber zeigt Citymapper keine Gleisangaben in der Schweiz an…

  26. But golf clap to the #Citymapper app that helped me navigate in unfamiliar territory. Love this app. Best public transit app I've ever used.

    @sustainrelease my favorite is #CityMapper but #Moovit has some options that the other doesn't: you can turn modes of transport off e.g. in case of strikes (going to be necessary this week!) and it's a bit easier to get to a specific bus and see its schedule. Other than that CityMapper is not just much nicer to use, the team behind it seems very much on top of updating it quickly whenever they are informed about anything that changed.

    @sustainrelease Yeah, it's all just Carris Metropolitana now, both north and south of the river. Exceptions are #MobiCascais in #Cascais, #TCB in #Barreiro and #Carris in #Lisbon itself, everything else is now just Carris Metropolitana. #GoogleMaps didn't update yet but you can find all new lines in the #Moovit and #CityMapper apps. Many of the old scattered companies didn't show up in basically any planning app, so even though many lines are basically the same as the old ones, they are WAY more accessible now. Also they all use exactly the same simple pricing system, so you know that #Zapping will work on all of them for occasional trips and the #Navegante pass (o #Passe) works no issue too. They replaced ALL buses, it's a completely new fleet, so no worn out vehicles any more either!

  33. @saskia I've never really trusted Google Maps for cycling directions and instead use #CityMapper or #CycleStreets, both of which make use of the rich cycling data in #OpenStreetMap

  34. Haha love this. Trying out #Citymapper to find my way around #Valencia, discovered the #Slingshot option. Faster than cab rides! (Pretty accurate too, took me 59 seconds, first try.)
