“We make it easy to combine transit routes with bike and carpool options” Google announced it in a blog post dated August 27. When you search for train, metro or bus ride in the app, Google Maps will also offer mixed transportation, including a stage with self-service bike or VTCsuch as Uber or Lyft.
Google Maps now shows routes mixing various modes of transport with bikes and VTC
Concretely, the option is very simple to use. Just search for a public transport route in the app. In the middle of traditional routes that only have one part by bus, train or subway, Maps will also show a route that will be partially covered by bike or a chauffeured car.
Not surprisingly, the app will offer an estimate of the price of the race. Maps also show estimated waiting time (to be confirmed via the VTC app) and current traffic. An ideal route for bike tracks will allow you to easily connect to your next train or next bus. “All this information is automatically included in your total travel time and estimated time of arrival” It gives confidence to Google.
This new feature is currently Spreading to Android and iOS For users residing in 30 different countries. We would like to remind you that Google regularly adds new options to the GPS application. A few weeks ago, the augmented reality navigation mode specifically appeared. Previously, a speedometer enriched Google Maps’ car mode.
