Transit service for Delhi Metro would also be available on mobile devices with Google Maps for Mobile, so commuters can check the latest updates to make route changes on-the-go. Google Transit which is a way to navigate on Google maps can give easy information on train timings, station locations, frequency of service, time taken for travel and ticket fares.
"In line with Delhi Metro's vision for a people-centred public transport system, we have launched several initiatives to help commuters better manage their travel time, transfers, and make more informed transport decisions. The collaboration with Google is another step in this direction to make it even easier for the public to plan their trips with transit information on Google Maps", said E Sreedharan, Managing Director, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
How Google Transit will work
- The user searches for information to reach from Place A to B on Google Maps
- The result shows a map with the possible route and driving directions for the commuter
- By choosing the transit option, commuters would get first hand information on Delhi metro's schedule and passing lines in that area
- Commuters get to see the step-by-step directions for the entire route including schedules, travel time and fares for each leg of the trip in text and on the map
- Commuters can also switch on the Layers option on desktop and mobile to get a quick snapshot of the entire Metro network. They can click the station icons to get train information for that station.
Google also provides information on Chennai MRTS, Kolkata Metro, Hyderabad Metro transit services to commuters in Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad respectively.
