*Refers to the availability of mobile apps that can be installed from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).

Moovit

The purpose of this app is to provide information about public transport routes in Valencia and other cities around the world.

When it comes to buses and trams, the app can provide real-time information (based on GPS data) on vehicle arrivals at any stop. For the metro, it provides estimated arrival times of the next trains.

Moovit is ideal for planning trips using any type of public transportation. You can use the app directly in your web browser without having to download it. However, it’s recommended that you install it anyway for a significantly better user experience.

Google Maps

This popular tool provides detailed information on route planning and sights. Google Maps is very user-friendly and provides real-time updates on all public transport methods.

Just like Moovit, Google Maps suggests several routes to reach your destination. Also, it provides information about the arrival time of vehicles through the “Schedule Explorer” option.

Google Maps is installed by default on most devices running on Android. If you don’t have the app yet, you can download it for free (also available for iOS) or use the web version.

RecargaSUMA

The RecargaSUMA is a free transportation app. Unfortunately, you will need a Spanish phone number to be able to use it. In our experience, it also doesn’t work on every device, so your ability to use it depends on the compatibility of your phone.

The app allows its users to check how many rides they have left on their card, as well as top them up. It works with any SUMA pass. The app replaces a previous version, the RecargaMobilis.

EMT Geoportal

This EMT page is great if you need to check any EMT bus route (superimposed on a map of the city), as well as their usual schedules.

By clicking on the flagged spots on the map, you can also see which buses stop there, and at what time the next bus is coming, according to schedules. The Geoportal does have a route planner feature for buses, metro, and bikes (both Valenbisi and private). However, in our experience, the calculator often fails, so we would not recommend it for this purpose.

Here you can browse the EMT Geoportal

Transit

Transit is an app that provides all kinds of public transport data, including mapping, real-time info about arrival and departure times, and live navigation.

Although in other cities Transit is already compatible with available car, bike and scooter-sharing systems, in Valencia the app only provides live info for the EMT network. It also provides general info for Metrovalencia and Renfe Cercanias (short-distance trains).
