Delhi govt, Google join hands to provide real-time bus data

State transport minister Kailash Gahlot said on Wednesday that the Delhi government has collaborated with Google to launch a system to enable commuters to track bus locations, arrival and departure times, and routes on real-time basis on their mobile phones.

“With this move, Delhi will join the league of global cities where real-time data of all buses is being incorporated onto the Google Maps platform… static and dynamic location data of Delhi buses will be available for passengers in real-time,” said a press statement issued by Gahlot’s office. It did not say when the project will be launched.
