Moovit Overview

Industry leaders such as Microsoft and Uber have partnered with Moovit to power their mobility offerings. Launched in 2011, Moovit now has over 625 million users and is available for free on iOS, Android, and web browsers in more than 3,000 cities across 94 countries and in 45 languages.

Moovit transit app integrates with Uber
Moovit, the local transit app, will soon be integrated with Uber in 131 cities across 22 countries. This integration aims to provide users with more options for managing local trips and make public transit a more viable option. A study by the American Public Transportation Association found that people who use ride-sharing services like Uber are more likely to use public transit and own fewer cars. The integration with Uber allows Moovit users to order an Uber for all or part of their journey, giving them more freedom in deciding how to travel.

Gett and Moovit combine taxis and public transport
Israeli startup Moovit is cooperating with Gett to expand its app for navigating public transportation to include Getts taxis. Users of the Moovit app will be able to compare arrival times from the point of origin to the destination, including buses, trains, and taxis. The app will make it possible to combine public transportation routes with taxis, especially in cases where there are no public transportation routes for part of the way. The option of ordering a Gett taxi from the Moovit app is currently available only in Israel for Android users, but will be available to iOS users soon. The cooperation between Moovit and Gett is unique and does not exist in other apps. The companies plan to expand their cooperation to other places around the world.
