## About Citymapper

Citymapper is an urban mobility technology company based in London, UK, founded in 2011 by Azmat Yusuf.

Initially launched as "Busmapper," the company rebranded to Citymapper to enhance urban navigation using mobile technology and real-time data. It operates a popular multi-modal public transit application that integrates various transport modes, including public transport, ride-hailing, and micro-mobility options. The app is designed to help users efficiently navigate complex urban environments. Citymapper serves a diverse audience, including daily commuters, urban residents, and tourists, across 41 major cities worldwide. The platform offers features like real-time journey planning, live timing updates, and smart navigation. In addition to its consumer app, Citymapper provides enterprise solutions, including licensing transit data and routing technology to businesses. The company has raised approximately $60.5 million in funding and was acquired by Via Transportation in 2023, further enhancing its capabilities in urban mobility.
