Moovit is a smartphone application that offers a comprehensive service to better manage public transport travel, both in the city and outside. In this article, we will discover what Moovit is, how it works and how to use it to simplify our daily mobility.
What is Moovit and what can it do in Milan
Moovit is an app available for Android and iOS smartphones that allows users to get around more easily and intelligently using public transport. The app is available in all Italian regions and more than 90 provinces, offering a wide range of options including trains, buses, metro, taxis and bike/scooter sharing services.
Best of all, it works by being able to integrate various means of travel, in a pioneering ‘Mobility as a Service’ (MaaS, let’s get familiar with this acronym!) concept whereby all means of mobility and travel payment are aggregated in a single app.

With the Moovit App, mobile ticketing with telephone credit is available in Milan – the terms and conditions of use are available within the app itself during the purchase phase (they are, however, unrestricted and very ‘easy’).
The main functions of the Moovit App include:
- Transport timetables: Moovit allows you to find out what time buses, metro, trams and trains run. This information can be displayed in real time or according to the transport services’ scheduled timetables.
- Nearby stops: Moovit offers the possibility to display the nearest stops to your location or to a specific area selected on the map. Stops are displayed with detailed information such as the location of the vehicles and scheduled or real time timetables.
- Route directions: Moovit allows users to calculate a given route, integrating with other means of transport, such as bike sharing, electric scooters, metro, Trenord trains and even taxis. Users can plan a route from their current location or from another selected location by scheduling a departure or arrival time.

To use Moovit, simply follow these simple steps:
- Installation: open the Google Play Store or the App Store on your smartphone and search for ‘Moovit‘ (even without the quotes). Download and install the application.

Above all, we recommend that you authorise the use of your GPS position, as it serves to locate you and give you timely information on public transport stops, as well as real-time timetables.
- Interface: once the app is open, an interface will open with a three-window menu corresponding to Moovit‘s three main functions: ‘Directions’, ‘Stops’ and ‘Lines’.
- Route planning: To use Moovit as a navigator and get directions to a destination, select the “Directions” option. You can set favourites with the addresses of your home, work, school, etc., or you can manually set a starting point and destination, with the desired departure and arrival times.
- Choice of route: Moovit will provide several route options with times, changes, costs and means of transport. To start navigation, simply tap the ‘Navigate’ button in the bottom right-hand corner. During the route, Moovit will provide warnings about stops, show alternatives to the established route and allow you to view the next stops.
- Timetables, stops and lines: Moovit also offers detailed information on timetables, stops and lines of buses, trains, underground trains, trams and funiculars. This information can be found in the ‘Lines’ section of the app.

Moovit FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the Moovit app
Q: How do I download the Moovit app?
A: You can download the Moovit app for Android devices from Google Play and for iOS devices from the App Store.
Q: What is the Moovit app for?
A: Moovit is the world’s number one free public transport app. With Moovit you can finally achieve peace of mind when using public transport. The most used functionality is the search for directions to any destination. The app is structured in such a way that by giving the start and end point, you are provided not only with the route, but also with all means of internal transport by which you can reach your destination.
Q: How much does Moovit cost?
A: The application is completely free for all users and always will be. It is also free for administrations and public transport companies that decide to join the project by providing data on the services provided. It is ‘financed’ with some advertisements, but these are not particularly invasive in everyday use. However, there is also a paid version, which works very well and costs in SaaS (Software as a Service) mode with an annual fee of 11.99 €/year. Approximately twice a year, the app does flash promotions at 7.99 with close expiry, to entice users to subscribe to the annual paid plan. Our advice is to subscribe to the annual plan if you are a commuter or commuter traveller, or if you use transport internally, because this app is really well made, runs smoothly and goes like clockwork!
Q: Can I buy a city and intercity ticket in Milan with the Moovit app?
A: Of course! With Moovit you can buy public transport tickets in Milan without leaving the app.
