Citymapper will not only alert commuters to a rail glitch as soon as it happens, but it also suggests alternative routes. The free app taps into information available on the Land Transport Authority's Datamall.

At a loss when trains break down? Transport app provider Citymapper has introduced a feature in its wayfinding platform which will not only alert commuters to a rail glitch as soon as it happens, but will also suggest alternative routes.
For instance, if there is a breakdown along the Downtown Line between Beauty World and Bugis stations, the app will suggest taking bus service 170.
