HERE Transit Helps People See the World with Public Transportation

HERE Transit is an extremely helpful Windows Phone app for those who rely on public transit to get around. The app helps users to plan trips by several modes of transportation, including the bus, train, subway, monorail and surprisingly, even by gondola. There’s even a feature for those who prefer to travel by foot to map put their routes and set a walking speed to better estimate an arrival time.

Favorite locations can be specified within the app and travellers are certainly not just limited to their local area—the HERE Transit app is available in over 740 global cities.

The app uses LiveSight, which makes use of augmented reality to tag buildings and stations, so travellers will have a much better handle on where they are as well as where they are headed, even if it’s somewhere completely new.
