Kizoom launches real-time rail timetable web application designed for the iPhone
Free live timetables and personalised journey planning services designed for the iPhone unveiled to support 3G launch
London, 17 July 2008 – Kizoom, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cityspace, today announces the release of Kizoom.mobi, a dedicated real-time rail timetable and journey planning web application for iPhone users.
Released to coincide with the UK launch of iPhone 3G, Kizoom.mobi presents an unparalleled live web application for the travelling public. Listed as ‘Live UK rail journey planner’ under Travel on the iPhone web applications, Kizoom.mobi out-classes other timetable-only services by delivering free and easy-to-navigate real-time rail timetables, fast journey planning, taxi finder, disruption news and route stops – a really useful bundle of travel services for people on the move.
Already a popular service for mobile phone users via the five major mobile operators, the new iPhone interface provides the unique ability to personalise commonly used destinations by bookmarking departures and arrivals giving users easy access via icons on the iPhone home screen. The service can also list all the stops along the route so you can see whether the selected train is a fast or slow service.
“Kizoom.mobi represents the very essence of our business; to deliver valuable travel information at the point of need on any device,” said Andrew Fraser, CEO, Cityspace.
“The iPhone application comes out of a stable of pioneering public transport services delivered via the internet and to mobile devices using state of the art Kizoom technology. It’s a significant announcement for us as the first mobile internet web application we’ve released since acquiring Kizoom earlier this year – the first of many compelling propositions in our pipeline for the burgeoning mobile market!”
