A single smartphone application delivers complete transportation in Paris

• Multi-modal route planner;
  line/route layout (bus, light rail, metro and express metros);
• Departure times for passenger transportation (standard and real-time schedules are available);
• Availability of cars for car-sharing, bike-sharing, location of bike stations;
• Frequency of river shuttles;
• Location of taxi stands plus call numbers;
• Vehicle parking lot opening hours and fees.

To offer these services free of charge, Urban Pulse has developed a range of partnerships, including one with the STIF (the transit authority for the greater Paris region). These services will be gradually extended using data shared by operators, publishers, transit authorities and service users.

By adding transportation to the promotion of local services and entertainment, Urban Pulse strengthens ties between service providers, users and their localities. The application helps advertise urban events and cultural expositions, displays promotional offers in shops, and makes it easy to meet up with friends to organize games and other on- and off-line activities. By interconnecting all these features, Urban Pulse gives a whole new meaning to the concept of mobility.

Urban Pulse users will progressively be able to take advantage of this service in most major cities in France, Europe and North America. Outside of Paris and Greater Paris, it is already available in Chambéry, Strasbourg, Rennes, and soon in New York, Boston and Avignon.

* Only transportation services with fixed stops, stations, terminals and parks. Ridesharing and transportation on demand services are also under consideration. Regional trains will soon be included.
