Furthermore, it ensures you’re responding to an actual problem. Azmat Yusuf is pictured on the right.Īzmat sees the importance of having players from tech meet with those of the public sector to create something that truly has an effect and impact. They regularly host AMA sessions with founders and innovators. Station F is a former train station turned into the world’s largest start-up campus. Citymapper takes the time to clean up open data to help ensure we have the best experience getting around. What started with busses only expanded to public transportation, cabs, and bikes, is now expanding to including floating transportation, like the electric scooters you see around the city. In fact, Citymapper is interested in the layer above the map and how people move through a city. It was fascinating hearing him describe the app as a tool to combat congestion, as it was built around the idea of mobility, and not just maps. While I’ve been a fan of the app from day one, yesterday I attended an Ask Me Anything with Citymapper founder Azmat Yusuf at Station F (one of the recommendations in my previous post) which made me love it even more. From the design of the app, to the use of real-time data Citymapper makes navigating the city a breeze-even during strike season in Paris! In addition to being an app that’s not afraid to have a little fun, it’s a highly practical tool for getting around. I also often give a little demo to show the fun features like the number of pain au chocolat (depending on the time of day) burned while walking, and catapult or teleport options that only appear some of the time. It’s also the same answer to all the questions: Citymapper! In short, it’s the best app for getting around Paris (and other major cities).Īnyone who has taken one of my tours knows I rave about this app. What’s your favorite app? What’s the best designed app you use? What app do you use every day? What’s the app you recommend most to other?įor me the answers to these questions is a no brainer.
