Google has added Indian Railways schedules on Google Transit as well as other updated public transport information for eight Indian cities. Google Transit, a feature in Google Maps, which helps one plan public transport trips, is available on Android or iOS device, as well as on desktops.
The latest addition will allow a user to see information for 12,000 trains as well updated details for bus and metro routes from Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune.
To use Google Transit, one can type the destination into Google Maps, click on the “Get Directions” button and then select the “Public Transit” icon to find which metro, train or bus options are available. Google Maps will then display door-to-door directions to the destination with the public transport options available including walking directions to and from transit points.
“Google Transit is part of our effort to make Google Maps more comprehensive, accurate and useful for millions of people around the world who take buses, trains, metros or trams to their next destination,” said Suren Ruhela, director, programme management, Google Maps.
