I wanted to give a travel journal as a gift for a friend who goes on quite a few adventures every year. I was intrigued by this journal because it seemed like a good way to capture planning, budgeting, and narrative (based on the product pictures). I ordered the nutmeg brown version and was completely disappointed when it arrived and didn't have any sections for trip planning or budgeting. The only sections are lined pages, grid pages, and blank pages. It's basically an even more over-priced Moleskin notebook because only 1/3 of it is actually useful. I'm embarrassed to give it as a gift, and now have to scramble to find a replacement.

Did you realize that taking public transportation can actually save you a lot of money over time? Not only is this form of transportation cost-effective, but it is also very convenient. In the span of a year, Americans take over 10.4 billion trips on various forms of public transportation. Whether it is a bus, trolley, or subway, utilizing the power of our metro journey planner can help you get to where you need to be in a hurry. Americans also board a form of public transportation around 35 million times a week.
I found the TfL app to be cumbersome and slow. Google Maps was faster to use and 'mostly' accurate. I had one instance where the bus no longer followed the same route so I had to get off and try again. And I don't know if the recommendations were the best choices or the choices a local would make. But it usually got me where I wanted to go. However, I'm generally not on a schedule and can tolerate some detouring or wandering.
Does Citymapper definitely use real time data? My experience in New York suggested that it was relying on the subway timetable rather than using live arrivals. I guess London might be different. I don't tend to use Citymapper there.
One hazard with using Google maps is that they don't seem to input bus route temporary changes (lots of Crossrail related one at present in various areas of central London) or engineering works on the tube.
