Moovit is releasing a powerful and personalized new feature on Android, Best Way Today. This upgrade to the app enables Moovit users to make more valuable use of their time by automatically providing the most updated routes for users who typically travel the same route between favorite locations.
A large percentage of users ride the same route every day, but may not be aware that there are often multiple ways of getting from their home to work and back. And because of variables like unusual traffic, subway strikes, and street closures due to construction, transit delays cannot be avoided.
Best Way Today works to automatically find the best way for users to avoid disruptions on their commute, considering today’s best route to work may be different than tomorrows. Best Way Today allows Moovit users to set their favorite locations, like their home or work, as well as their typical departure and arrival times to and from each location, and get the best route for their commute each day based on the day’s current conditions. With this new feature, Moovit users can receive a pop-up notification each day prior to their usual departure time from home, work or any other favorite location, letting them know exactly which route to take, without even having to open the app.
“Best Way Today is just the beginning of a set of features that offer greater personalization within the Moovit app,” said Alex Mackenzie Torres, Moovit CMO. “It is one of the top 5 most requested features by our users and we have a strong product roadmap in place to continue to provide an even smarter and more intuitive experience for our users.”
In addition to Best Way Today, the favorite lines and stations feature will also be updated. Now, when users are within a close proximity to their preferred station on their favorite line, they will receive a notification about when the next bus is arriving, whether you’re walking towards the station or waiting inside.
Best Way Today is now available for Android, and will be available on iOS in the coming weeks.
