Apple-owned HopStop transit navigation service to shutdown in October

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>HopStop, a transit data service acquired by Apple in 2013, has announced that it will be shutting down in October. The company, which provided social transit navigation, is active in 7 countries and works with data from over 700 transit agencies. This shutdown news comes as Apple is preparing to rollout its own transit directions with iOS 9 (http://www.imore.com/ios-9).</p> <!--break--> <p>HopStop itself offers little information itself beyond a simple banner at the top of its website.</p> <p>Apple's rollout of transit directions in iOS 9, starting in just a few days, will cover only a few cities across the world at first, arriving in more over time. It's likely that HotStop's data has played a major role in preparing in the rollout.</p> <p>Source: HopStop (https://www.hopstop.com); Via: Fortune (http://fortune.com/2015/09/12/hopstop-apple-shutdown/)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
