World’s largest public transport app makes getting to and from school easier for children starting school for the first time, or those new to travelling on their own

San Francisco – August 31, 2017

As students transition from summer back to school, Moovit, the world’s largest public transport app, has all of their transportation needs covered.

In addition to public transit routes, Moovit covers numerous official school bus routes and college shuttles and is constantly adding more in more than 1,500 cities in 77 countries around the world..

For children who are using public transportation for the first time, Moovit alleviates nervousness from both children and their parents. The app not only provides students with step-by-step instructions to get to school or extracurricular activities via public transit, but will also alert them when they’ve arrived at their stop with the Get Off Alerts function. This ensures they’re both on time and where they’re supposed to be.

For parents, Moovit provides peace of mind that their children have access to the right information to help them get around town quickly, safely and easily. The Real Time Status feature constantly updates users on their bus or train’s arrival time through a combination of information from public transportation operators and live information from Moovit’s user community. This means students will always take the fastest and most convenient route and parents don’t have to choose between their child waiting at a station for an extended period, or missing the bus or train.

Whether students are navigating a new city for college, or travelling on their own for the first time Moovit has the tools for them.
