Google Maps Adds Real Time Public Transport Departure Times

Google Maps gets another feature which is really when you are on the go. You can see what public transport options you have to get in that city and schedule of buses and trains. And Google also take care of this that  public transit isn’t the most reliable form of transport in many cities, so it is expanding the feature to support real-time arrival and departure data, enabling users to know exactly when their bus is coming.

Google Maps for mobile and desktop can tell you when your ride is actually going to arrive with new live transit updates,” Sasha Gontmakher, Software Engineer wrote at Google blogs.

For those cities where this data is available, the live departure time for any station will be available. This data will show the exact time of that day. You will be easily able to know when your bus is late.

The new feature works in all versions of Google Maps. Both the desktop and mobile website now support live departure times and the Google Maps for Android app has this data as well.
