Google has gone further empowering Indian Railways. Not only this, Google has given one more reason to its users to use Google Maps. It added Indian Railways schedules as well as updated public transport information for eight Indian cities to Google Transit.
Google Transit is one of the features in Google Maps. This helps users to plan their public transport trips quickly and easily. It is now available on Google Maps on your Android or iOS device, as well as on desktop. The latest update will allow users 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.
“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. We hope that the addition of the Indian Railways schedules pan India and updated information for eight cities to Google Transit in India will make it a little easier to plan your next trip” said Suren Ruhela, Director, Program Management, Google Maps.
