Mobility Apps

We made a non-exhaustive analysis of existing mobility apps.
In doing so, we made an evaluation of the various options, focusing on multimodal transportation if needed or desired.

We took a closer look at these Apps: Slim Naar Antwerpen, Floya (Brussels), Hoppin, Google Maps, OSMAnd, Magic Earth, NMBS, De Lijn, De Waterbus

Slim To Antwerp (SNA)

SNA is our preferred choice in this regard. It is a very complete app that immediately gives different alternatives as well. So you can use that for public transportation but also for bicycle, walking or car transportation. Or a combination. Especially the latter is an added value compared to most other apps. Although it is an app for the city of Antwerp, it can certainly be used far beyond and thus also in Klein Brabant.

Multimodal
Includes sharing systems (bike, scooter, scooter, car)
Gives an indication of cost and Kcal you will consume
Links to ticket sales in the relevant app or website
Also works in browser
Flexbus is not included
Not Android Car ready

Note: Floya has roughly the same functionalities as SNA, but focuses sight on Brussels and we will not discuss further here

Magic Earth

Magic earth is based on open source maps from OpenStreetMap, but has many map settings (satellite, 3D, …). The app works with Android Car and Apple Car.
It does not work multmodal, but gives you options for walking, biking, public transportation, truck or car. There is up to date info of both public transport and traffic.

Google Maps

Hoppin

Hoppin is not an app but a website. It reflects the philosophy we want to adopt for our mobility.

The website gives a good overview of our mobility.
Also of the various ‘official’ apps that exist in Flanders (De Lijn, NMBS), but also others such as carpool, parking and charging apps. Be sure to take a look here
