Google Maps – Make Life Easier By Using ‘Public Transit’

The innovations that Google Maps have instituted in the last decade have been hard to match.

They have made life so much easier by making the whole world navigable. You will not only get directions, but will also be able to get street views, locate businesses around a particular area or point on the map and get an update about traffic. There is so much that Google Maps can do for you. Now, Google Maps has come up with a new ‘Public Transit’ option, which makes life even easier for those who use the public transit system for their every day or even occasional commute.

What is Public Transit?

Statistics reveal that more than 70 percent people in the world do not have their own cars, and therefore use the public transit system. Whether you do not have a car, or whether you just hate sitting behind the wheel in traffic that snarls and moves bumper-to-bumper, there is a way to beat your commute – take public transit. Google Maps has been working since 2007 to map the public transit systems all over the world, to bring you very comprehensive information on how you can commute without the frustration of traffic, or without having to lease or buy your own vehicle. Google Map’s public transit option gives you information about buses, trams, trains, and subways – all the different modes and services of public transit.

What Kind of Information to Expect?

Right now, Google Maps has tried to map almost the entire transit system on their maps. For instance, if you want to go somewhere in Great Britain, you can open up your Google Maps and look at every transit route available in the entire Great Britain, making it very simple for you to board the public transit system and make your way to any point of your choice along several countries. You can also get real time updates on which buses are available at what stops, and how long your commute will approximately be. Therefore, if you want to soak the sun on a beach, you can check which destination has the shortest bus route. Since all the transit information is real time, you can also use the map to avoid any traffic congestions.

What is the Reach of Public Transit?

Google Maps has worked rather extensively on their Public Transit app. As of now, the data on the app spans six of the seven continents. It covers 64 countries in the world, and more than 15,000 cities as well as towns worldwide. The great news is that Google wants to make this information as comprehensive as possible, so the mapping and collection of data continues to happen. The app continues to improve and more information continues to be added to it. Therefore, if your city, town, or country has not been covered yet, there is no reason to believe that it will not be covered anytime soon. In fact, you may have information about your locality much sooner than you would expect.
