This feature is useful but limited, only showing up when a probable route is available. When the haze was at its worst, the app also helped to map Haze Safe routes, calculating routes that capped walking time to 5 minutes max, helping users minimise time outside in the haze. They will then offer you alternative routes, or notify you if there are free shuttle services available from that station.Īccording to Citymapper, this is just one of the many plans they have to localise their app for Singapore-based users. A MRT breakdown, however, will be marked with a red cross, showing you that the route is not available. If there is a delay, it will be marked with a yellow ‘i’, meaning that the route is still available. To access this function is simple: when you’re attempting to calculate the best way to travel from place to place on the app, any affected route will be demarcated with the level of disruption. The ability to stay up-to-date with transport disruptions has been a core feature of Citymapper in over 20 of the cities that it’s present in, but the feature was only recently made available in Singapore. The main function on this app that will instantly get you hooked - its ability to keep on track with public transport disruptions.
The UK-made transportation app first became available to Singapore early this year, but has since localised their content to make it more valuable than any stock map app you have in your smartphone. Singaporeans hate losing time, and there’s nothing worse than being surprised by a delay or breakdown.īut of all the saviours that could come to Singaporeans’ first world problems, Citymapper probably wouldn’t be the first you would think of.
The frustration of losing a few minutes to possibly an hour in public transport, having to deal with the rush, and the crowd of frustrated people everywhere you turn. There’s something that really gets to a Singaporean when the MRT breaks down.
