3 . Like most people living in the suburb, Janice Monkowski, who lives some 30 miles east of San Francisco, gets around mainly by car. For much of her life, public transportation was not even an afterthought. That changed recently when Monkowski, a self﹣described technophobe(技术恐惧者), discovered Moovit. When she goes to San Francisco to meet friends, the smart- phone app let her plan bus and train trips down to the minute. “Moovit tells me where to walk and how long it might take to catch a bus to get to the train station,” Monkowski says.
Much like the navigation app Waze, which follows its users on the road to determine the best driving routes， Moovit collects location data of nearby users to show how to travel along the way with less time and energy between two locations. Nir Erez who cofounded Moovit says, “Most commuters(每天长途上班的人) don’t know when a bus might arrive, let alone how it might connect with another transit service, or when walking or bicycling might be faster.”
In just several years Moovit has had 100 million users. Moovit is available in 44 languages and 82 countries, and commuters in more than 2,500 cities rely on it to get to and from work. In 2016 Moovit became the official transit app for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In 2018, Moovit was also chosen as the official mobility app of the Asian Games. When public transit doesn’t get a user all the way to where they want to go, Moovit may connect her to bike﹣share programs or services like Uber.
As Moovit has grown to 100 employees, with headquarters(总部) near Tel Aviv and offices in big cities such as San Francisco, Athens and Rio, Moovit can provide better, more up﹣to﹣date information at a lower cost. Best of all: It’s all built one data point at a time by people like Monkowski. When you go to San Francisco and don't want to drive before the city’s “terrible” parking and traffic, Moovit can give you another option. It’s very simple.
