How many times have you been through one of these situations – you missed your bus and will now miss your train! Or you found unexpected traffic on your way to office for an important meeting and when you reach the bus stop, but the bus is so crowded that you cannot board it.
We all have experienced how frustrating it can get, right?

Transit was launched in 2012 as a simple solution to get instantaneous data on public transit systems worldwide. In its 6 years of operations, Transit has been able to 125+ metro areas worldwide, providing real time data on arrival and departure of several public transport systems at a time.
The key differentiator which gives Transit an edge over options like Google Maps is its power to automatically provide data on nearby public transit options and to provide adaptive plans for your entire journey. Here is what that means

We can help you integrate a machine learning algorithm right into the processing of your app. This algorithm will go through the routes in real time and suggest the fastest possible routes for users as they see the instantaneous timings on the screens.
