Google Maps 'Transit' feature expanded to 7 more Indian cities

Google Maps has expanded its 'Transit' feature to seven more Indian cities namely Chandigarh, Lucknow, Vadodara, Indore, Mysore, Surat and Coimbatore to enable users to choose best possible public transport services available.

The Google Maps Transit feature helps you find the best bus routes, railway stations, and even shows average Uber and Ola fares to your destination. The feature aimed at making commuting easier and hassle-free even in some new city, by showing you bus routes and stops, including departure and arrival times, names of bus stands, and even where to change buses.

"Google Maps is your guide to the world around you, and this launch is part of our effort to reflect the real world and provide you with relevant information about your surroundings," said Sanket Gupta, Product Manager, Google Maps.

You can find the feature by entering the destination and tapping the 'Transit' (the little tram) icon. With the latest additions, Google Maps Transit feature is now active in sixteen Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad.
