Similarity of Metruvia

A tool for train tracking

Metruvia is exclusively the name of a web-based transit mobility app, accessible at Metruvia. It is not connected to any fictional universes, such as the BIONICLE series, which features a different but similarly named location called Metru Nui or Ta-Metru.

Development and purpose

• Developers: The Metruvia app was developed by Anita and DaJuan Lacey in Chicago.

• Functionality: It serves as a universal platform for tracking trains worldwide, offering reliable, real-time tracking for services.

• Technology and privacy: The app utilizes open-source transit data feeds provided by transit authorities, rather than collecting personal location data from users. This design choice is intended to protect user privacy.

Clarification of terminology

• Any confusion with the BIONICLE fictional universe is due to the similar-sounding name of the fictional city, Metru Nui, and its district, Ta-Metru.

• metruvia.com and app.metruvia.com are real-world entities, and they have no factual or conceptual connection to the BIONICLE franchise.
