Search engine giant Google has time and again come up with a number of india specific features on Google Maps in the past. In what can be termed as good news for commuters in india, the company has announced three new features in Google Maps. While the first one informs of the approximate time while travelling by bus, after taking traffic status into account, another one tells how much an auto-rickshaw ride will cost.
For train journeys, including metro travels, the commuters can check real-time train running status, including delays. Also, a mixed-mode navigation option has been introduced. This feature will help to find out the best route by suggesting the users when they may use auto-rickshaw while on a journey.
This feature will be of great use for those who need to switch between bust and auto or metro and auto. It will help users to know when a commuter must take an auto or at what station he or she should get down taking the three-wheeler. The fare of travel via an auto-rickshaw will also be shown.
