3.Citymapper

Citymapper is a great public transportation app that combines all available transit to find the best route including subway/metro, bus, train, Uber, rail, ferry, bike share & personal bike with cycle lanes. It provides real-time directions, departure times and disruptions alerts.

4. UNIGLOBE Travel

Powering you with real-time data, the UNIGLOBE Travel app ensures that you have complete control over your travel plans.

5. App in the Air

A smart, straightforward, flight tracking app with one of the best coverage of airlines and airports, App in the Air keeps you updated about flight status, even without data connectivity. Breaking down each flight into four stages; check in, boarding, takeoff and landing time, the app helps you manage your time at the airport.
