The navigation app RideScout is different – it helps users to navigate a locality with all possible commuting options i.e. car, taxi, bike-share, walking and public transit options.

The app analyses your destination and calculates the best route by comparing the cost and estimated time for all different modes of travel. By aggregating different transportation options, it provides its users an option to choose their preference based on convenience and environmental impact, need, time and expense.

RideScout is currently applicable in over 69 cities in the United States of America including San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Austin, Chicago and many more major cities. You can search, compare and even book rides at just a click of a few buttons.

The app also makes familiarising yourself with a new city easy, consolidating major features of most of the other navigation sites and combining them all as part of its ‘multi-modal trip planner’.

RideScout helps speed up your transit option search and even provides you with a solution that can help you reduce your carbon footprint. Go ahead, enter your location in RideScout and get ready to be flabbergasted.
