MobiPalma is the third app created by the Mobility department, following the EMT app and the ORA mobile payment. Such a new application is expected to consolidate the success of the EMT app, counting on 185,000 users. MobiPalma is 50% co-financed with European funds and is part of the Civitas Dynamo project.

The app is available for smart phones and tablets and incorporates information on all the public transport of the city, including EMT, BiciPalma, traffic and public car parks. Actually, it has been jointly developed by the Mobility department of the City Council, the EMT and the SMAP. Its main objective is to facilitate the citizens the access to all the information necessary to be able to get around in the city of Palma easily, simply and in a sustainable way. The app is available in Catalan, Spanish and English, and will be soon available in German. It can be used by anyone and users do not need to know the bus stops, the lines or the name of the streets, since it includes offline location maps, increasing its speed.

Loads of advantages

The new app offers more functionalities and improvements in relation to the previous EMT app. For example, it allows consultation of the EMT buses arrival time, check the information concerning all its lines and bus stops, set alerts, calculate routes, check the real time traffic conditions by means of the municipal public cameras, as well as get to know the number of free and occupied spaces in each public car park (more car parks will be included soon) and in each BiciPalma station. In addition, the app allows the customization of the menu to create a "Favourite" tab from where the user may easily access to the most relevant information. New upgrades will be included within the next weeks, such as maps with cycle routes and the cycle lanes. Likewise, it is open to any upgrade suggestion.
