Google to expand mix mode commute option to more cities across India

NEW DELHI: Internet giant Google is looking to expand mixed mode commute option to cities across India which displays a combination of transport modes for commuting to a particular destination.

“The public transport tab on Google Maps for Android now informs users about a journey that combines auto-rickshaw and public transport. It indicates how much time it will take, and which station they should take an auto-rickshaw to/from. The feature is available for Delhi and Bangalore and we’re looking to bring it to other cities across India,” Google Maps vice president Jen Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

She was speaking on the occasion of Google Map completing 15 years.
