The idea
A city, drawn in dots
Commutes shape a city as much as its roads do, but they're invisible from the outside. How Your City Moves draws them as a dot-matrix map, so you can see where people come from and where they're headed.
My own commute
480 hours a year on the road
My card: HSR Layout to Indiranagar, an hour each way by car. That adds up to 480 hours a year, about 20 days, or roughly 16 Test matches start to finish.
Privacy
Your commute never leaves your browser
There are no accounts. Your own commute stays on your device, and contributing to the city-wide stats is opt-in and anonymous.
