The app for Leipzig is now available for download for Android and iOS in the app stores under ‘ITF 2015. The highlights are real-time traffic information and multimodal navigation for cars, public transport, bikes and pedestrians.

The city of Leipzig and the PTV Group have worked on the project together as organisers of the International Transport Forum (ITF). ITF, an 7353 OECD organisation, prepared the programme of events, the city provided the sights and the tourist information, while PTV prepared the mobility portal and finalised the complete app.

PTV has already developed an app for the city of Karlsruhe, which also includes real-time transport information, up-to-date traffic information service, roadworks, parking spaces and park-and-ride options, along with the corresponding public transport timetables.
