Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 成都地铁 at none against 掌上公交's shown. 成都地铁 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (53% vs 37%). 掌上公交's advantage is rating (2.7 vs 2.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

掌上公交 holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 掌上公交 has 131 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of 掌上公交's written reviews are positive against 53% of 成都地铁's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

掌上公交 ships an update fortnightly, 成都地铁 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
