Los Angeles, CA, USA Mayor Eric Garcetti has announced the launch of a new, comprehensive trip-planning app for the region developed by Xerox Corp. The Go LA app works much the way Google Maps does, generating times and routes for walking, biking, driving and transit between two points. The new free app also offers options for ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft and shows the cost, carbon footprint and calorie burn for each choice. Users can set their preferences for which transit modes they would like to include for potential routes and sort trip options by which is fastest, cheapest or greenest.
GoLA can be downloaded from the Google and Apple app stores or from www.golaapp.com.
