Google Maps users to get live updates for bus, train rides

Google Maps users will now see bus travel times from live traffic across 10 major cities as well as get live train status for trains on the platform.

Also, another feature that is being introduced will combine suggestions of auto-rickshaw and public transport for users. These “India-first features” will allow users plan public transport trips quickly and easily, Google said in a statement.

“We at Google are focussed on building Maps features that will help deliver a more relevant, accurate, and reliable experience for commuters. Transit navigation is one of the most popular Maps features in India, and we look forward to these new features will bring more value to users,” Google Maps Product Manager Taylah Hasaballah said.
