In this workshop you’ll learn what an app is, and how to use three different transport apps for trains, buses and other forms of public transport to get around.
We’ll look at three of the more popular apps in this workshop:

• Moovit

It is important to note that here are other transport apps available, with similar functions, that you are able to investigate via https://transportnsw.info/apps.
