This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Citymapper is one of the most useful transport apps around.

Google Maps might be more comprehensive, covering much, much more of the world, but lots of people find Citymapper – where it is available, at least – far easier to use.

The only issue is that's it's currently only available in a handful of major cities – in the UK, that's London, Manchester and Birmingham. Hopefully it will roll out to more and more places in the near future.

It's built for people who walk, cycle and use public transport. So, as well as directing you, it can help you save money and think more about the environment too.

One of its best features is GO, an incredibly insightful tool that can completely change the way you approach your commute.
