A major part of business travel is getting from place to place. Whether you are abroad or in the UK, there are multiple transportation options to choose from. A fantastic part of travelling is experiencing new forms of transportation, all while trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B on your itinerary. Sometimes it works out and other times you have to keep an open mind if you end up getting lost (it just might lead you to an unexpected discovery).
We've put together a few of our favourite Apps to help you get out of the Hotel room and explore.
Citymapper
Probably the best-rated transit app on the web, Citymapper gives you A-to-B trip planning with accurate estimated arrival times. It searches all transit modes—like tube, bus, rail, ferry, bike/car sharing, Uber—and lets you compare your options in real time. It also gives you step-by-step directions for finding your route, and many metro maps are available offline. Citymapper is currently in an array of international cities. citymapper.com
Moovit
