SAN FRANCISCO:
Moovit, the world’s largest urban mobility data and analytics company and the #1 transit app, has been chosen as the official mobility app for the Asian Games (Asiad), to be held 18 August through 2 September 2018 in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia.

The Asiad is the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympics with teams from 44 countries participating and three million fans expected to attend.

Moovit is a free public transit app available on Android, iOS and the web with more than 200 million users in over 2,500 cities in 82 countries.

The Asiad Steering Committee chose Moovit as its official mobility app because it has the most complete, up-to-date coverage of all modes of transit and lines in Jakarta & Palembang than any other provider. During the games Moovit will include all transit updates and changes and send local citizens and tourists alike notifications of these changes.

Also, the app is fully localised in 44 languages, including Indonesian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, Thai, Bahai Malay, Tagalog, Korean, Hindi, Russian, and Arabic. It provides real-time transit arrivals and directions, trip plans, service alerts and Get Off Alerts.

The app’s entire interface and data are fully VoiceOver/TalkBack supported to make the app accessible for visually impaired people.

Moovit was the official transit app for Rio de Janeiro during the 2016 Olympics and collaborated with the UEFA EURO 2016 Fan Guide App to help soccer fans.

Italy’s popular AS Roma football club announced Moovit as its Global Mobility App Partner earlier this year.

Moovit Vice President Steve Swasey said, “Moovit is committed to ensuring fans have the best possible public transit experience when attending the Games in multiple venues in two Indonesian cities. All over the world people depend on Moovit for their daily transit information, which is why we say, ‘You ride, we guide.’”
