Moovit review

When I am at Jalan Taman bus stop, I got the choices of taking bus 853/857

First I check Moovit App and happy to know 857 is coming earlier than 853





Then I double check LTA My Transport App and both give quite good prediction that 857 is coming in 1 minute time while 853 is behind.
I didn't stop and wait for 853 and take 857 this time

I also can update Moovit that I am taking 857 


1. So in this aspect, Moovit is based on LTA data and giving quite good replacement to My Transport
in knowing which bus is coming.
2. At the same time, it further let you a map view of the route that you are taking

3. I have been suggest to Moovit to learn from Baidu Map on Destination Stop Alert 到站提醒  (bus stop, taxi stop, MRT stop etc). Moovit got that feature but not powerful enough. It should give vibration and alert voice very loudly so that it wake up commuter who fall asleep during the journey.

百度地图


When I was in China in 2017, I like the Baidu Map got this feature

到站提醒

When I notice baidu map got Singapore Map in 2019
(Note :My only disappointed is that there is no many Chinese road name)
I was very happy this feature are supported in Singapore too

You just choose public transport while select the location
(Note: One important feature to improve is that the location does not have LTA bus stop number)

you have to go all the way down and select the
到站提醒



This feature is very Powerful
(Note : More powerful and better than Moovit)

I usually get on bus and turn on this 到站提醒
and then I fell asleep
Baidu map can even go into the background while I switch to youtube or other to listen to music

One bus stop before the destination, it will vibrate and sound you up
Very near to destination, it will do the same again

It is so effective that I mostly will not miss the destination bus stop !!

==============

I have suggest to Baidu Map to input those LTA bus stop, taxi stop number
So that you can even search on such bus stop eg that bus stop at postal code 760790 is 59051
Also 百度should indicate those bus stop on the map (like Google map) and
also list out the bus number at the bus stop
