The COVID-19 Government Response Stringency Index was strongly associated with declines in mobility (r = - 0.75, p < 0.001). Larger declines were seen in European than Asian cities. RESULTS: Mobility declined in all major cities throughout March. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Citymapper's mobility index. Policy restrictions were assessed using the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Stringency Index as well as measures coding the timing and degree of school and workplace closures, transport restrictions, and cancellation of mass gatherings. Multivariate fixed effects models were used to estimate the association of policies restricting movement on mobility before and after their introduction. DESIGN: Trends were evaluated using Citymapper's mobility index covering 2nd to 26th March 2020, expressed as percentages of typical usage periods from 0% as the lowest and 100% as normal. Yet the impact on mobility of different non-pharmaceutical countermeasures in the earlier stages of the pandemic is not well-understood. Thereby reducing your need to have multiple apps open at once.OBJECTIVES: Restricting mobility is a central aim for lowering contact rates and preventing COVID-19 transmission. Still growing, too.ģ: CONSOLIDATION! The app has a seemingly unique ability to fuse and personalise numerous travel options in as close to real time as possible. A London launch was used as a base and from there, Birmingham and so on. Notice they did not try and take the whole world at once. Same way we still 'hoover' (ie, vacuum) yet do not as yet give the home a 'good Dysoning'.Ģ: Ambitious, yes. Very clever by simply adding 'er' and thereby becoming its OWN thing. Because had they simply called it 'city-map' then the name would be both less catchy and potentially more legally problematic because generally, one cannot 'own' a process as a business name if that title is already a common denominator noun or verb. Marketing genius! Interesting case study in trademarking possibilities, too. It is catchy and creates its own innate mythology / monopoly.
Why has it taken off? Here are some thoughts:ġ: The NAME! Seriously. If you do anything in mobile transportation apps or urban planning and navigation? You'd be remiss, verging on negligent, to evade research of this application.
