The NSW Government has announced the release of two new road and public transport comparison apps, which use real-time road data to give users relevant information to best plan trips.
NSW Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Duncan Gay says the apps give commuters an additional service to help them move around with ease and in whatever mode of transport they choose. “These new apps are great – they allow you to type into your phone where and when you’re going and the app will tell you what the fastest route is at that exact time,” he said.
Commute and Commuter NSW are the two newest apps to help customers plan their journeys by providing comparison information on driving and public transport travel times. They give the user the best route options and the optimum time to leave home.
“One of the handy features of these apps is that customers can find out about incidents along their planned route and find alternatives to avoid congestion and delays – all before they start their journey,” said Mr. Gay.
“We know there is an appetite and demand for digital tools to plan trips, compare modes and calculate the ideal departure time – which is why we keep encouraging and teaming up with the developer super stars, to continually build on tools available for our customers,” he added.
The NSW Government collaborated with private app developers to produce the two apps. The app is available from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
