Transit is a Canadian mobile app developed in Montreal, Quebec designed for aggregating and mapping real-time public transit data, functional in over 125 metropolitan areas around the world.[1] It offers users schedules and alerts for multiple modes of transportation where available, including bus and rail, and also tracks some services using user locations through the app.[2][3] The service is also compatible with multiple bike share systems, as well as Uber and Car2Go.[4][5] In April 2018, the app expanded to include scooter-sharing systems in four American cities.[6] Transit is in direct competition with other transit mapping services such as Moovit and CityMapper, as well as general mapping services that also provide transit data such as Google Maps, Bing Maps, and Apple Maps.
