Citymapper. Simply the best transit app/website I’ve ever used. Takes into account subways, regional rail, bike share, light rail, car share apps, you name it. Google maps has gotten better but Citymapper used to be able to find me a faster transit route like 50% of the time. They’re also really on top of delays and construction work too. If you use transit and it supports your city, you should be using it.
It's fifteen minutes tube station to tube station. Chuck in a ten minute walk from the o2 to the tube, and from Westminster to the HoP.
On a busy commuting morning, it might be half an hour. 3 hours is what it took me to fly from Heathrow to Moscow.
What one has to keep in mind is that we weren't really in lockdown until Friday when the new restrictions were introduced (we could still go tighter I think, but yeah).
As of yesterday Sydney is at 9% mobility according to the Citymapper mobility index (https://citymapper.com/cmi/sydney) meaning people are moving around less. To compare, last year during Melbourne's lockdown they got to 7%, Sydney's lowest in March was 11%, and Sydney's current is the lowest of all the cities whose mobility data is published).
While recent numbers are pretty troubling (and we can expect them to get worse over the next few days), we will start to see them coming down pretty soon I think. Still, the government has totally bungled this, we didn't need to be in this mess, it's very frustrating! Just don't lose hope, guys. Stay at home :-)
Ditched Gothere.sg since a year ago.
My go to app now is Citymapper. When it first entered Singapore, the usual route I took for my commute is not displayed in the app. Emailed them, replied almost instantly, added the suggestion within 3 days.
Try CityMapper. Similar idea, more cities.
Edit: Well, technically fewer cities since the real time transit feature in Google Maps covers all of the UK and all of the Netherlands, which includes a lot of cities. But you know what I mean...
Interesting we dropped to 9% mobility on 10 July but haven't gone below 10% since even with increased lockdown rules. https://citymapper.com/cmi/sydney I'm still not 100% sure how this is calculated but I imagine there's a lot of statistical noise meaning any figure between 7 and 15% could be the same.
Try citymapper (google maps alternative), it looks like they have the entrances on there for each station
https://citymapper.com/melbourne/train/stations/parliament?lang=en
Per gli spostamenti nelle grandi città (dove grandi: Milano e Roma in Italia + quasi tutte le capitali e molte altre grandi città europee) consiglio caldissimamente Citymapper. È una specie di navigatore evoluto, ottimizzato proprio per grandi città in cui l'offerta di mezzi è variegata (piedi - metro - bus - taxi - uber), e calcola l'itinerario proprio in base al network dei mezzi disponibili. L'ho provata in prima persona a Londra, dove bus e metro sono geolocalizzati in tempo reale. Molto utile davvero.
There's an app called Citymapper (also a website https://citymapper.com/dc) that's really helpful for tourists trying to figure out whether the metro/bus/taxi/walking is the best idea. I'd suggest you give it a shot, it's really accurate and easy to use.
That said your friend has done you a real disservice making you both think the metro is so dangerous. You'll be completely fine.
I recommend Citymapper which is very similar to the TFL journey planner.
It shows you most possible routes, line status as well as price for travelling!
There's also an app for it on Android and iOS
Masks will help, but far too many people are still working in closed spaces together. And our mobility is still up on last lockdown - we got down to 10% last lockdown and we're hovering around 14% this time. Car traffic is higher too. https://citymapper.com/cmi/melbourne
For transport I use City Mapper.
If you're a cinema aficionado, you could try Cinema City (there's an app, the link is on the website). It offers "cinewalks" to discover the places where movies take place.
You'll be pleased to know it covers Birmingham too, as well as Manchester. So download it now and give it a whirl :)
Oh, and you can use it on a desktop web browser
Another app that I find really useful to navigate the CTA is CityMapper. Sometimes it will suggest alternate routes to get somewhere that hadn't occurred to me.
Download Citymapper on your phone and follow what that says. There's different options going by bus or tube, so it depends on what whether you think fewer changes or getting there faster is easier.
Google knows. Citymapper knows.
I'm always very curious why people like to ask questions that are easily searchable... xD
Good question because of two things:
it's like John Mulaney telling about how you can't get lost in New York
it lets me shout the praises of CityMapper.
Oxford Circus is on the Central Line (coloured red). Stratford in East London is on the Central Line. Take the Central Line eastbound nine stops. Half an hour later or so, get off at Stratford. Follow the signs t o walk to the stadium with everyone else wearing pinstripes. Easy!
Google is great, and it's giving different answers because it's literally updating you in real time and you juuust missed a Central Line train (and the next one is four minutes away). The computer is thinking, "OK, Central Line means it'll take 37 minutes, deviate to the Victoria Line and change at Highbury & Islington"!
don't panic! the tube is fine, the signage is really clear.
Waterloo-wembley is just the North/wesbound Jubillee line form Waterloo direct, no changes
Download citymapper on your phone (or try the website) to see all the options - it will tell you exactly what to do to get to where you're going.
Also, TfL is the body that oversees the transport system in London. You're looking for TfL rail.
It's doable by public transport (even at that time on a sunday/monday morning), but it'll take you close to two hours.
This is what Citymapper comes up with (give it a few seconds to think about the public transport options). You may find a happy medium by taking one of the recommended buses from Stansted (A8, A51, or A52), and then taking a taxi from where it suggests you change. That'd still probably cost you a lot though!
Edit: re the price Citymapper shows, that doesn't include the A# buses. Apparently you need to buy the ticket for those separately, and at least 48 hours online for certain of the routes, you can't just rock up and buy them. Looks like that bus is 8 quid in advance for a single, or 14 for a return.
Other than what everyone else has posted, I'd really suggest City Mapper. It's a great app that gives you the best route using all types of transportation. Here is there site.
En fait tu peux trouver des trucs bien et pas trop chers un peu partout, tout dépend de ta chance au moment des recherches, et de comment tu t'y rends le matin et donc de ta volonté à y aller en plus ou moins de temps.
J'ai des connaissances avec des appartements giga chers dans des quartiers pourris et à contrario des gens qui paient pas cher dans des coins super bien situés.
Si tu pars du principe que tu bosses à côté de l'arrêt Gare de Vénissieux, tu peux déjà aller te poser partout sur la ligne D ou la ligne du T4, ce qui t'autorise un grand nombre de possibilités plus larges que le 8è.
Ligne D par ex., tu peux aller chercher Vaise et Valmy (Vaise c'est pas le quartier le plus animé, Valmy l'est un peu plus), et le T4 tu peux aller chercher Charpennes par exemple, qui est très étudiant : ce sont 3 quartiers "moins chers" que certains, et le trajet dure entre 25 et 35 minutes pour aller jusqu'à ton boulot.
Je pense que tu peux regarder des appartements dans ta tranche de loyer un peu n'importe où dans Lyon, tant que le trajet derrière est correct.
Un de mes sites préférés pour me déplacer dans la ville : https://citymapper.com/lyon
Tu mets l'adresse de ton taff en arrivée, l'adresse de l'appartement (ou un coin approximatif si t'as pas l'adresse précise) en départ, et ça te propose les alternatives tout seul ;)
Attention à bien penser à régler les horaires d'arrivée sur le site, car il fonctionne en direct. Donc par exemple si tu cherches un appartement en pleine nuit, il te proposera que des trajets de 120 minutes à chaque fois, ce qui peut décourager.
There's also this website:
https://citymapper.com/cmi/sydney
https://citymapper.com/cmi/melbourne
It says that Sydney has been at about 10% mobility for the last four weeks, and around 12% mobility in the three weeks before that.
Not quite as good as Melbourne who got down to 7% and 8% at the height of their outbreaks, but still pretty good and far better than most people seem to realize.
Citymapper mate:
This is the quickest route, providing you’re travelling from Bexleyheath station (obviously timings might change as this is live at 8:30am)
Oh, also, big shout-out to the Citymapper app which is great for Manchester and many other cities besides. I use it much more than I do the GMPTE pages these days. You can even narrow your search by bus company, which is useful if you have a specific pass.
> 3) Lastly, would you recommend renting a car or just cabbing?
I was going to be all incredulous about this question but I'll be nice. As everyone else says, you should use public transport to get around. It's not just cheaper, it's also much faster. Check out Citymapper (the app pretty much every Londoner uses to get around) for an indication. Here's an example: to get from my office to Savile Row would take 38 mins in an Uber and cost up to £15 ($19), whereas the same journey would take 32 mins by Underground and cost £2.40 ($3). By bike it would take 28 mins and cost, well, £0.
Put aside whatever prejudices you might have about public transport. I know in most parts of the States it's considered the inferior way to travel: dirty, slow and full of poor people. But in a city like London - and really in most large Western European cities generally - it's fast, well-maintained and used by pretty much everyone.
EDIT: Also, there's really no contest between four days in London versus four days in Stockholm. All reports I've heard back from Stockholm indicate it's pretty boring and extremely expensive. London is... well... the greatest city in the world? If you're dead set on Scandinavia at least go to Copenhagen, which has amazing nightlife and great food.
J'ai été extrêmement prosélyte sur l'utilisation de Google maps. Mais CityMapper, quand tu habites dans une des villes où l'application fonctionne, c'est juste une expérience utilisateur infiniment supérieure. Déjà parce que ça combine les app RATP et Gmaps, tout en améliorant carrément les fonctionnalités (multiples propositions d'itinéraires, mesure précise du temps du voyage, outil de recherche de lieux >>>>>> Gmaps). Aussi parce que la fonction "Get me home/to work/etc" (des gros boutons en home de l'app), une feature ultra basique, est suuuuuper plaisante à l'usage (deux tapotements et tu sais comment rentrer chez toi). En fait, c'est juste bourré de petites features indispensables.
Et le tout est ultra bien codé, c'est fluide, c'est rapide, c'est agréable à l'oeil, l'ergonomie est super raffinée. Et c'est gratuit.
C'est mon app la plus utile et que j'ai le plus de plaisir à utiliser, de très très loin.
Après, faut vivre dans une ville majeure. Sinon ça marche pas (liste des villes).
I third Citymapper, it's free on iOS and bonus if you visit 28 other cities you get a consistent travel planning experience.
They also have a website for big screen planning - https://citymapper.com/nyc and if you create an account you can sync between devices.
Right, that'll be it then. Bad place to live if you're a fan of anarchist bookshops. Luckily for you citymapper just came to Birmingham, so you'll never have to figure public transport out https://citymapper.com/. It's well worth getting the app.
Trust me, take a little time to head out of the city centre. All of my eco-friendly flag burning mates from uni moved to Stirchley, Kings Heath, Moseley or Balsall Heath. Go to Peach Garden and order the three roast meats, head to Digbeth Dining Club and try to eat a burger whilst being assaulted by loud house music, go to the Butcher's Social and order a kilo of salted caramel chicken wings. It's great here.
I would be concerned if I were you, as the European autumn wave that started a bit earlier than the US one got going too soon after schools opened for it to not be a factor. Looking at CityMapper's Mobility Index and comparing cities (check Paris vs NYC for instance) over time one can see European cities were nearly full open last September & October compared to the few US cities that are transit-heavy. The slope of the cumulative deaths line for autumn 2020 in Europe became the same as it was right before the 1st shutdown effects came in. I expect this coming winter to be much lower due to all the vaccines in play, but just tossing the kids to the wolves doesn't sit right with me.
That being said, I'd bet most want to be back in school too. It must be hard not seeing friends for over a year straight. If masks & frequent (maybe entire school weekly?) testing are going to be done, it probably would be fine going back to school in high-vax counties.
Yeah, first lockdown there were only around 10% of people using public transport in London, this time around it's ~28% based on https://citymapper.com/cmi/london . Still a reduction, it was sitting around 50% for a couple of months.
Io vivo in campagna. Senza auto ci metterei 10 volte a raggiungere qualsiasi punto fuori dal mio paesino. Da dove abito, per arrivare a Milano, è un incubo.
Il giorno in cui tutto il territorio sarà servito dai mezzi pubblici esattamente come sono servite ~~le grandi cit~~...come è servito il centro di milano, con metropolitana, autobus e tram, allora forse potrò pensare di lasciare la macchina in garage, ma fino ad allora mi spiace (no non è vero che mi dispiace, mi piace un sacco) ma continuerò a guidare.
Yes, a 72 hour pass can be bought for 240 SEK, which is roughly £21. They sell them at the visitor centre, which you find after customs, or at the Pressbyrån or 7eleven shop.
Your 72 hour pass is actually valid for the commuter train, the problem is there is a passage fee to get to the commuter train from the airport*. So, if you have some time to spare, you can take bus 583 from the airport terminal to Märsta (bus' last stop too). You then end up on the last stop of the commuter train, which will take you to T-Centralen (Stockholm Central station).
Your travel card will work to Solna. Yes, I would say that's the best way to get around.
If you have data on your mobile, this app will help you get around: https://citymapper.com/stockholm
*Arlanda Express owns the passage, so they put this fee here to drive people to using their faster service.
Enjoy!
See the black cars going round with an orange light that have "TAXI" on them? Stick your arm out and whistle, or shout "taxi," and one of them will stop.
Or download the Citymapper app on your phone and that will tell you which route to take on public transport, and how much it will cost.
You will need to buy an Oyster card from the nearest Tube station (Tottenham Court Road or Holborn) to pay. I think your best option will be to get the bus (number 19 or 38) from outside Tottenham Court Road tube.
Citymapper is an awesome navigation/routing app in general, but I've gotten my best experiences with Citibike from using it.
After choosing Point A and Point B, you can select the "Bike" directions. It tells you walking directions to the nearest 4-5 stations and shows bike availability. Draws bike-safe route (you can even choose between "Fast" vs "Quiet" streets) then it shows space availability near your destination.
Well I mean most of the advantages of transport apps come from their online features - most these days can tell you live departure times of buses, trains, tubes etc, and will update you if there are delays.
What operating system do you use?
For general travel I use citymapper which is available on Android and iOS. It works great for putting in a location and finding the quickest way to get there from where you are now, and will give you different options and prices for each alternative.
Most of its features need internet, but it does have an offline tube map.
Sometimes I find citymapper to have a bit too many options when I just want to know when the buses are coming at a bus stop I'm at. For that I use this android app which is really simple and good for showing you when buses are coming. Again, needs the internet.
>So lockdown, which by definition means government mandated restrictions, didn't start until 23rd of March.
Individuals and companies acted 1-2 weeks before official lockdown. I work in Central London and my entire company (1000+) started WFH from the 2nd week of March. Public transport was at 75% of normal usage from March 13th and quickly dropped to 35% on the 18th (Citymapper data). People knew what's up.
Citymapper has all the answers.
Yep, worth getting the (Citymapper) [https://citymapper.com/nyc?lang=en] app. It'll give you estimated times and costs. A lot of places are easier to walk to than getting the tube. Buses are pretty cheap and frequent, so a good alternative. Don't get a black cab! You'll cry afterward.
Citymapper has that along with a bunch of other smart ideas for comparing every means of transportation:
You can select your favorite lines and get commute-only alerts:

Not wanting to be a massive jerk, but have you looked at a map? Clerkenwell is easily walkable to UCL's campus, the others not so much.
You can use TfL's Journey Planner or CityMapper to see some recommended routes (public transport or cycling) between places.
> What an idiotic comment. Should people walk for 2 or 3 hours?
I checked out of interest. To walk from Uxbridge to Paddington (both West London) would take you nearly 4 hours. 😂
Take the A train uptown to Columbus Circle from Penn Station.
At Columbus Circle, transfer across the platform to the D train.
Ride that to Yankee stadium, follow the crowd.
You can take the D directly from Herald Square, one block from Penn Station, but that requires a lot of swimming upstream through commuters trying to get home.
Follow this link for better directions: https://citymapper.com/go/ix432w
(Seriously, you should look this up when you're actually going, as there could be service interruptions.)
you wont gain anything by buying tickets in advance, you can use your oyster card / contactless bank card for this
you can't go direct from st pancras, you would go victoria line and change at vauxhall i think https://citymapper.com/directions?endcoord=51.450029%2C-0.330394&endname=Twickenham&startcoord=51.532008%2C-0.126906&startname=St.+Pancras+International
others may know a better route.
for food cost, you can spent next to nothing (a macdonalds meal is about £7 ) a sandwich in place like Pret a Manger, is £3-4.50. for a typical dinner out in somewhere half decent then you'd likely budget £25-30 per head including drinks and service charge. as a completely random suggestion, try diwana near euston. or pix in soho, or wagamama it really depends on your budget and what you want
You'll find wine more expensive in pubs, but beer cheaper (and better of course), the food in the stadium will not be good or cheap. the beer will be the same.
You can do Bromley South - Beckenham Junction - West Norwood - Clapham Junction if you want to avoid Z1. Only a few minutes slower than going into Victoria and out again.
There you go. You owe me a pint. A proper pint. Not one of your puny Yank pints.
I strongly recommend the free app Citymapper (available for iOS and Android) for navigating your transit options. It supports Metro (rail and bus), the DC Circulator buses, Uber, Capital Bikeshare (CaBi), and walking directions. It has real-time arrival info for transit, has offline Metro maps built-in, shows where there are bikes and docks available for CaBi, and pulls in pricing information from the Uber API.
Citymapper can do cycle hire plus tube routing - it's maybe a bit of a niche market otherwise though, because you can't take a non-folding bike on vast swathes of the tube.
according to Citymapper the fastest route is victoria line to green park, and then Jubilee 1 stop to westminster, and 8 mins of walking from there.
total time = 17 mins.
however, it entirely depends on time of day. If you hit rush hour, then it'll take longer to get into stations and onto platforms etc.
Citymapper also notes that an Uber should cost £11 and take about 11 minutes (not including waiting time for it to arrive).
It's kind of a miserable, rainy day, but you're just 20 minutes away on metro line 7 from a Reddit SocialParis meetup at 8pm tonight. It's in a lively area with lots of bars and restaurants. Leave a comment if you're joining, as the regulars usually don't comment anymore, they just show up.
I don't think the real time transit is available everywhere in NA. I know it's not available in Toronto, Canada, even though you can get real time transit via Citymapper:
Good call. I'll do that.
Getting lost is half the fun! When I'm out and about I often spot something that steers me off course and then end up in a place I've never been before. But that's how I discover new stuff. You'll be fine. Also, get the City Mapper app. It's really good. https://citymapper.com/
Edit: Done the major landmarks page. /r/london/wiki/thingstosee
Highly recommend the Captain Kidd in Wapping. usually very quiet, only locals know about it, and it's on the river.
They seem to cover the tourist locations pretty well. It really depends on whether you're into tourist snaps or something different. I would recommend against Kew Gardens if you've only got a day as it's quite far out of central London.
Walking, if you're in central London, is a fantastic way to get between places. Buses and the Tube are good too but it depends where you're going and how far apart your destinations are. TfL Journey Planner and Citymapper can help you out:
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/
https://citymapper.com/london/
Barclays Bikes are pretty heavy to ride from what I hear. They would be a good option but you're limited to travelling between docking stations (there are a lot of them though). https://web.barclayscyclehire.tfl.gov.uk/maps
Cycling is relatively safe. Some junctions are considered more dangerous than others. If you're not used to cycling in heavy traffic you may wish to give it a miss.
It should be enough time, you can get to Kings Cross comfortably in an hour.
Take the Heathrow Express to Paddington (15 mins), it's more expensive than the Underground but worth the money so you don't miss your train, and change to the Underground taking the Circle line straight to Kings Cross.
Check out City Mapper, it's probably the best public transport map for London and is normally quite accurate with estimating timing. https://citymapper.com/london/superrouter?start=51.471232,-0.45287&saddr=Heathrow%20Airport%20Terminals%201%2C%202%2C%203&end=51.530397,-0.123858&eaddr=King%27s%20Cross%20St.%20Pancras
Yeah. The tube is a pretty easy way to get around. First of all, at heathrow, you take the Piccadilly Line (dark blue) 17 stops to 'Green Park', then you change onto the Jubilee Line (grey) and take it 11 stops to 'Wembley Park'. Once you get out of the station there it's pretty straightforward to get there - just follow the signs.
Look at this map for the route info
I’m absolutely the wrong one to ask about public transport, only using buses when need to. Others can advise better on that.
CityMapper will show you the best connections, mind that not all tube stations are wheelchair accessible.
You may also want to check if your vehicle is ULEZ compliant, and register for a TfL account, if not, so you don’t forget paying: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/
If you're only two the trip from the airport would be about 10 Euros for you and 5 Euros for him and depending when you arrive also faster. For trip planning in Paris you should download Citymapper: https://citymapper.com
For trip planning in France you can use trainline or the SNCF has also their website in English https://en.oui.sncf/en
I usually glance at this before leaving home to get an idea of when the next train is coming, and look at the spacing between trains. During peak-ish times, they should be less than 7 minutes apart, so you have an indication of small delays happening.
In the station, the countdown timers will usually tell you how many minutes to the next train as well as the next 4 or 5 trains. If a train pulls in and looks crowded (or there's a large crowd on the platform), I'll look at the timer to see how many minutes to the subsequent train, and make a judgement on whether to wait for the next one. If it's only a few minutes, I'll wait. Sometimes the trains get bunched up and there's a long interval between trains so crowds build up, but most of those people will get on the trains so the next one should be much less crowded. If I'm standing in a crowd on the platform, and the next train is, say, 10 minutes away, I may make a judgement that there's no point in waiting because that crowd is just going to build up again.
Mobility figures for Sydney here:
https://citymapper.com/cmi/sydney
Seems we hover around 10% but never go under it.
Melbourne:
https://citymapper.com/cmi/melbourne
Gets down to 8% or so.
Disclaimer: I have no idea what this is based on.
There hasn't been masses of people going out though, not according to citymapper:
https://citymapper.com/cmi/sydney
But yes. Non essential shops should close but there MUST be income support for those who have to be going to work atm
To get to Tibidabo, your best bet is the S1 or S2 up to Peu de Funicular, it looks like
Not fun, but doable. https://citymapper.com/trip/T26ghzwt8gg
A car would save you about twenty minutes, but parking would be expensive and unless you have a very high tolerance for sitting in traffic it probably won't be much of an improvement.
Croydon to Balham would be a Southern Rail train journey, around 10-15mins if you get the right train.
Balham to Catford is more awkward. According to Citymapper, it's just under an hour.
I love the Tramlink, feels a lot smoother than the Tube and most train journeys. Plus it's very cheap, since it's treated technically like a bus line!
Here's what I get.
As for your luggage, once you're on the train you should be fine.
This seems fairly anecdotal. I follow citymapper and you can see the decline in traffic each day.
They don't have today's figures yet, maybe it is up from the 8% yesterday and you're right but the traffic has dropped or stayed the same each day without fail.
Edit: it actually rose between the 18th to the 19th and the 22nd to 23rd, but apart from that it's been a consistent decline
If I were you I'd check "most accessible cities" in Europe. As u/bookmonkey786 said, taxi price is pegged to the cost of living, and expensive places will be expensive. What places do you actually want to go to? Best way to check prices and options for transportation is to use Citymapper.
I lived in London, UK and it's a really accessible city with great public transport (buses and metro goes everywhere, lots of steps free access), and uber is everywhere (affordable if you are in a group). I live in Barcelona now and it's really accessible, great public transportation, no uber though, taxi is more expensive compared to the cost of living. But you'd probably walk quite a lot in these cities.
If you dont have this app -https://citymapper.com - get it. It will do the navigation for you and solve your transport issues.
Defo go to Borough but then move on as I see you did London Bridge.
Have you been to Soho / Oxford Street Regent Street yet? Hyde Park? Tower of London?
Definitley bin the cable car, the bus tour and the boat tour in my opinion.
Camden market is alright but nothing great, I would say ditch that if you havnt done any of Central London yet.
The london Eye is worth seeing but not going on, its on the way to central from Borough and you could walk from Borough to Soho in 30-45 minutes
Is Trainline recommending you use London Underground to get from Heathrow to Liverpool Street? Long story short, Trainline is shit at showing underground journeys - I would ignore the arrival into Liverpool Street being at 9:30. Instead https://citymapper.com/london?lang=en will help you plan your journey between Heathrow and Liverpool Street properly with the journey times. Their mobile app will be useful on the day to help you navigate any delays etc.
For context, "Disneyland Paris" is not in Paris; The last direct train to Paris leaves some time after midnight, taking about a 40-minute commute ( https://citymapper.com/trip/Tz9kit124y8 ).
Local commuters likely need to take other subways or additional trains before end of service, too.
Citymapper is way better than google maps for deciding on routes imo, they use cyclestreets engine. The app should give you quiet, regular, and a fast route for you to decide between. This is the standard route CityMapper recommends:
You can either get the Circle/Hammersmith and City Line direct from Euston Square, or you can get the Victoria Line southbound to Green Park, then change onto the Piccadilly Line and go Westbound. I'd recommend downloading citymapper https://citymapper.com/directions?endcoord=51.493498%2C-0.22493&endname=Hammersmith&lang=en&startcoord=51.528185%2C-0.133808&startname=Euston

We're looking for Android developers to join our small team and help make cities usable, whether that means building the best transit navigation app around or reinventing the future of public transport.
As well as advancing our Editor's choice app, in 2017 we launched a night bus (which runs Android!) and helped run a shared taxi commuter service. Now we’ve started running our own shared-cab-futuristic-bus-but-not-a-bus-responsive-network service in London.
We’re a small team with lots of ownership, Kotlin, minSdk 19/22, RxJava etc. and we’re always open to fresh ideas.
Feel free to reach out to me for more info
Highly recommend CityMapper. It pulls it’s information from Google Maps, but the user interface is a lot better. It’ll show every transit option that’s available in your vicinity, ETA’s, and how much they will cost.
The app I use is Citymapper. It is quite well-done, very useful to find itineraries, and as precise about arrival times as the on-board system of the Roman buses is, and it is not always up to par.
Camden Town to Putney Bridge is 3 different trains - only the last leg has any sort of air conditioning. The first line is also known as the oven line, and given that London has had an amazing start to the summer so far - good luck with your journey.
Wandsworth is an overground line, but Putney East is the closest underground (one station further).
Yea don't worry, they have this thing called a "GLAM", they are korean students they help exchange students get used to the life on campus / Korea, you will be assigned one and you can ask questions to him/her at any moment if you ever struggle with directions or with paperwork.
You can also take Korean courses, there is no real restriction, it's actually encouraged. They also have a lot of classes for exchange students only. Stuff like Korean Culture, Korean Art and so on.
As for the bus, I can tell you the line, the bus line is 151.

Or just go the quiet route Citymapper suggests:
It'll take over an hour to get there (so about average for anywhere in London...). Citymapper is suggesting taking the train to Victoria, then the Victoria line tube to Seven Sisters, then the Overground line to Stoke Newington, which is just round the corner from the club: https://citymapper.com/directions?eaddr=London&end=51.508515%2C-0.125487&endaddress=175+Stoke+Newington+High+Street%2C+London&endcoord=51.562595%2C-0.073805&endname=The+Waiting+Room&saddr=East+Croydon&start=51.375157%2C-0.0...
The Craft Beer London app is good to use to find out what's around you, each place has a description and a rating and such. Citymapper is really good app to use to get around London as well.
It could mean that they are partnering up with a company to do a branded app, ala the Halifax Recycles app. (MindSea with a custom Transit 360 app would be interesting, Transit (app) seems to already have a partnership with several agencies for customized versions of the app, and I'm not sure about Citymapper.)
Having recently visited NYC, I highly second both the week unlimited metrocard and the visiting Times Square at night (it's pretty phenomenal).
Also, check out the citymapper app if you have a smartphone; it was an excellent way for me to navigate the subway systems, which was something I was worried about beforehand. It also works with other modes of transport, though googlemaps is perfectly adequate for those.
Also also, find yourself some good thin-crust pizza while you're there; you won't have better anywhere else.
Just to piggy back on this comment; Citymapper works really great here in HK. I'd say it's even better than google maps.
It has all the info you need for public transport, down to which MTR car is the most convenient
Next time, try CityMapper (https://citymapper.com/paris).
The service is available in many cities, and gives you better information than most of all the other app (like the one of the RATP for instance).
Hope you reached Disney easily !
Not only is the wait common, you may have a bus pass you by after the long wait. If no one onboard requests a stop, the driver may decide the bus is too full and keep going. You may also find a cluster of buses that have caught up with one another in traffic.
That said, the #1 bus is a good part of my personal transportation system. Even with the slow ride and delays, it often gets me places I want to go quicker than the subway. With a general attitude of bus hatred in town people often neglect this option.
I highly recommend using an app like Transit or Citymapper to gage your travel time. http://transitapp.com/ https://citymapper.com/boston
Occasionally, after checking I decide on an Uber or walking.
Anyone out there have a newer Boston area transit app they like better than these two?
Picaddilly line to green park change to the jubillee line to North Greenwich.
I assume you mean the Holiday Inn Express, which is just near the 02 (so not really in the centre of greenwich) really so about a 10 min walk from the 02
EDIT: get the citymapper app or use the website https://citymapper.com/trip/T47k3i4
Heathrow express to paddigton is marginally quicker but way more expensive and in real life wont make much difference
Meh, I'd avoid the RER if it's your first time alone in Paris and you're not super comfortable with the language. I'd either get a Uber or a prepaid share cab ride, like WeCab. You'll pay about 30 to 35€ for the ride, that's just a 15€ extra from a train ride for you and your friend, and you'll have a way more relaxing experience.
Similarly, for transportation and directions I like to use CityMapper they have the most detailed trip information I've seen anywhere. They also have an awesome mobile app.
Fourthed. Although citymapper is also pretty good.
Edit: And citymapper has the bonus of the one thing that's missing on Google, being able to choose First only/Stagecoach only.
You could also try the cycle hire.
Get a 1 year train ticket for £2,684 (Basildon (BSO) to London Terminals) and get off at Fenchurch Street, then use cycle hire with an annual membership of £90, or pay £2 every day.
You would also have to pay an extra £2 every time you take over 30 minutes (the journey is supposedly 24 mins) so let's say that's another £4 a week, so £192 (ish) a year. Total cost £1,438 per year less, PS if you do this my fee is £400, you're welcome.
<strong>Citymapper</strong> for sure! Gives you live updates about all of the public transport available to your city for each stop/station - including bike hires, buses, underground, river boats - and helps you plan your route and gives you a bunch of different options! It also tells you how much your journey would cost for each route, how much time it would take for you to get there, how much time it would take to walk instead and how much time & money for an Uber ride. You can also see status on stuff close to you as well as updates on disruptions. And it works in a bunch of cities including London, New York, SF, Singapore, Hong Kong and São Paulo!! I love this app.
use citymapper or the tfl journey planner.
Assuming a weekday (weekends are different) Citymapper says you'll need to leave around 00:30 , which is rather painful (to get there for 4am).
/u/Fineus is right, there's nothing really in Selly Oak itself but there's some stuff around Balsall Heath - which is much closer than Handsworth. The closest place to get some good indian sweets is probably Shereen Kadah on the Moseley Road. Here's a link to how to get there from Selly Oak. It'll take about half an hour to get there if you live near the Bristol Road. It's my local sweet shop. It's my local sweet shop - I rate the gulab jamun highly, I quite like the ras malai, the barfi isn't bad, they have jalebis too but I don't eat those so I don't know if they're any good. Pick up a veggie samosa whilst you're there. The thing is that the items I have listed are more or less all they have so it won't do if you want something different.
If you're wanting a wider selection of treats, it's a similar journey time-wise to get to Sparkbrook and the Stratford road. Half an hour and a couple of buses. Here's a link of how to get to Mushtaq's Sweet Centre. It's pretty good and has a very wide selection of sweets, and it's on a road full of sweet shops so you'll definitely be able to find what you want. There's a bunch of other desi food there too. It's also where me and my family buy sarees, salwar kameez, etc if you ever need any of that.
Also, if the sweets are for Diwali, Happy Diwali! I hope you have a good one.
use citymapper:
Put the postcodes in.
Taxi is your best bet - use an uber to keep the costs down (if they're knocking about so early).
Used this in London over the summer. All my friends there recommended it over Google Maps. Good to see its launched in HK as well. Haven't tried it out in HK yet, but will be giving it a go.
This app is great. Pretty much everyone I know in London has it and uses it religiously, and it's also great for Manchester.
Try Citymapper, it seemed to handle a journey neither TFL or National Rail could (Guildford Station -> Picadilly Circus), so hopefully it should be able to sort out a route for you. There's a limit on how far out it can go, but it seems to go a bit further than other offerings.
You can also take a 30 min walk down to Clapham Junction and there's both an ASDA and a Lidl there - https://citymapper.com/london/?start=51.487607,-0.168208&saddr=Chelsea%20Old%20Town%20Hall&end=51.464729,-0.165095&eaddr=ASDA
Yup, there are so many times that I use an app like CityMapper where I can determine whether to take a bus or some other form of transportation. If a subway route is close to my start/end points, it's usually fastest after a car. With a bus, however, it's often only 10%-20% faster than just walking unless my start and end points almost exactly correspond to a bus line.
And keep in mind that's without the benefits of the exercise of walking or saved bus fare. When the options are laid out in front of me, the weather is fine, and it's not late at night, I just don't see the benefits of taking the bus.
I use this to calculate how much my journey will be: http://www.oystercalculator.co.uk/
There is also a very good app called City Mapper which will help you calculate your journey routes, times and prices: https://citymapper.com/
