India’s navigation app Mappls has received a major update that makes daily travel easier for people who use public transport. With this new feature, users can now check bus, metro, and train routes directly inside the app, making it a strong Indian alternative to Google Maps.
Easy Planning for Daily Commutes!
Earlier, commuters often had to use different apps or ask around to find public transport routes. With the latest update, Mappls brings all transport options together in one place. Users can now see nearby bus stops, metro stations, train routes, and interchange points on the same map.
This makes travel planning simpler, especially in big cities where journeys usually involve more than one mode of transport. Whether someone is going to office, college, or visiting a new area, the app now helps them plan routes with less confusion.
Available in Major Indian Cities
The public transport tracking feature is currently available in several large Indian cities. These include Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and a few others. The feature is live on iOS and web platforms, while the Android version is expected to get it soon.
In these cities, Mappls shows public transport routes along with normal navigation features. This means users can easily find the best way to travel without switching between apps.
Why This Update Is Important?
Mappls was earlier mainly used by people driving cars or riding bikes. With public transport routes now added, the app becomes useful for a much larger group of users. In crowded cities, buses and metros are often the fastest and most affordable way to travel.
The company believes that making public transport easier to understand and use can encourage more people to choose it over private vehicles. This can help reduce traffic and pollution, which are growing problems in Indian cities.
Mappls Aims to Grow Further!
Mappls already has millions of users across India and continues to improve its services. While Google Maps is still widely used, Mappls focuses on Indian roads, cities, and travel habits, giving it an advantage in local navigation.
In the future, the company plans to add more cities and improve transport data further. For many urban commuters, this update could make Mappls a daily travel companion.
