Another innovation from Clever Commute: An easy-to-use tool which helps you pick the ticket you need based on your hybrid work schedule

The boss wants you back in the office and you now need to buy your commutation ticket.

But which ticket to buy? Daily? Weekly? Flexpass? Monthly?

Eliminate the guess work. Use the Clever Commute calculator to visually pick your dates and let our robots do the work.

Ready to begin? Let's go!

NOTE: This is a work-in-progress and the features will continue to evolve. Please give us feedback about your experience. Always verify your choices and double-check them via official information from your transit provider.

Running to stand still in the app stores

Running to stand still in the app stores

The one-liner: Please go to your app store and rate (with "stars") and review (with "words") the Clever Commute app.

More: For an app publisher, it's not enough to simply be in the app store. In order to show up in searches, I need to continuously:

  • release new versions of the app
  • update all of the info about the app
    (description, pictures, promotional videos, etc)

I gladly do these things with passion.

Call to Action!

Call to Action!

There are three other things that are incredibly helpful for keeping the app visible.
I CAN'T do these, but our supporters can:

  1. Rate the app using the "5-star" system
  2. Review the app (even if it's one sentence)
  3. Install the app, keep it installed, and use it

App store steps to Rate and Review

If there is anything stopping you from leaving 5 stars or otherwise-positive feedback, please give me the chance to address your concerns.

If you are looking for ideas on what to say about the app, look at these testimonials.

How Clever Commute integrates the official info from transit providers

How Clever Commute integrates the official info from transit providers

by

As users of our Premium service, know, Clever Commute can be much more than a place for crowdsourced info. (ref: The five data sources)

And, as commuters know, the transit providers continue to try to share timely info directly with their commuters.

Clever Commute can bring both of these together in the app.

For years, "official info" was a Premium feature. During the covid crisis, we will make this content available to all users,

Here's an example:

That means that all users have all Premium features FOR FREE at this time.

Call to action: Logout/login AND restart the app
