MoovitApp:全球公交信息查询应用是一个致力于统计和分享全球公交车信息的百科维基式查询应用，该应用可以彻底的改变人们体验公交车交通的方式，通过利用群众的智慧来节省出行时间。
这款诞生于 2011 年的公交信息工具就是为此而生。如果说 Kickstarter 通过群体资金实现对优秀的个人项目筹款，维基百科借助众人智慧实现对自由知识的聚集，那么毫无疑问，Moovit 就是公交信息领域的 Kickstarter 和维基百科。
让用户贡献公共交通信息?Moovit 的这套逻辑和 Waze 有点相似，不过 Moovit 关注的内容主要是公共交通，包括巴士、电车、地铁和渡轮等多款工具。用户在接入到 Moovit 后，会看到系统提供周边的公交和地铁站点信息。
Moovit 正在快速发展。他们在今年三月宣布用户总数达到 60 万，9 个月后，这个数字已经突破 300 万。他们还表示，每天用户生成的报告超过 1000 万份，其中有 300 万来自移动用户。现在，他们的服务覆盖全球 100 个城市。
Moovit 把在路上的智能手机用户变成一个个人肉信息收集和发送器，收集交通信息并发送给社区内用户。不过 Moovit 的重心是在公共交通领域，因此除了由用户上传的数据，Moovit 也会从公共资源处获取信息，比如火车站和汽车站的时刻表等。在输入起点和终点之后，Moovit 会为用户筛选出匹配的公共交通出行路线。不仅如此，用户还可以收到关于该线路上交通工具的负载信息和准点情况等信息，以方便提前做好变更出行计划的准备。
Moovit is revolutionizing the way people experience public transport. By capitalizing on ‘crowd wisdom’, we transform the public transportation user’s experience by both saving time and reducing uncertainty. By using Moovit’s free mobile application, users can plan trips, receive and share real-time transportation information and easily navigate to their destination of choice.
Moovit helps take the hassle and uncertainty out of public transport:
1.Save time by avoiding jammed and delayed routes;
2.Find out on which vehicles you can find available seats;
3.Track arriving buses & trains on the live map;
4.Choose route based on all public transport methods available;
5.Discover new routes you were never aware of;
6.Navigate easily with detailed point-to-point directions;
7.Receive real time updates such as arrival time notification, or get off at the next station alerts;
8.Easily share your route and communicate with friends along the way.
So how does it work?
You anonymously share your public transport vehicle location and speed simply by riding with the app open during your trip. You can also choose to actively contribute relevant reports such as overcrowding on the bus, an accident that causes delays or an inaccurate station location on the map. By doing so, you join together with the community to create the best real time public transport data and extract much more from the existing public transport infrastructure.
As a user-generated platform, Moovit’s live data gets better the more people use it.
Save time, ride in peace, join the fun. Let’s Moovit, together.
