What's New
How was your bank holiday? Did you buy a new umbrella? Time for 2.12!• Select a specific journey result to save it to the homescreen. Now you can access it directly and even when you're offline (e.g. underground). Hooray.• Bus tracking! In our continued quest to make Londoners use less of their brains and rely more on their phones for everything, on selected bus journeys we will track your bus and notify you when to get off at the right stop. This is useful if you:- wish to occupy yourself with sending messages using emojis- like to stare out the window and reminisce about the good ol' days- decide to strike a conversation with a fellow passenger about the perils of our continuing reliance on mobile technologiesPlease note that the reliability of tracking notifications is dependent on the quality of your hardware and cell towers/GPS, so if you do decide to nap while using this at 3am in order to get back from (you know where) after a night of (you know what), do say a little prayer before you begin.• And finally: weekend disruptions. Not sure why this took so long, it was on the post-it note. Please know we're still not routing around planned closures, the disruptions data isn't great and we still need more time to work on it. We understand how important this is so rest assured, we're on it. Meanwhile, you could just leave London for the weekends.• Separated tube and rail stations pages in the Nearby map screen. This should make it easier to find what you're looking for. Or well at least the map looks tidier, and you can see where all the rail lines go. Even though Overground is technically part of Rail, we placed it under Tubes. Why? Because we can.• Updated walking page, better looking and far more confident when it hangs out with the other pages. Did you know we do our own walk routing and use OpenStreetMaps to find all the secret shortcuts in London? Well now you do.• Ooh, guess what we're hiring. Too many problems, too little time. Go to citymapper.com/jobs. Change the world, save lives! etc.• Thanks for all the reported issues and feedback, this helps us help you. Transport is crazy, and we're always improving our results and estimates.The next one folks, the next one..
