Google Maps has now been updated to allow you pair transit directions with biking and ridesharing options, making it easier to travel that first or last mile with ease.
Here’s how it works:
Enter your destination in the search box, tap on “Directions” and then on the transit tab. From there, you’ll automatically see routes that feature ridesharing and cycling options paired with transit directions. If you’re taking a ridesharing vehicle, you’ll see helpful information about each leg of your trip: how much your ride will cost, how long the wait is, if there’s traffic on your ride, and when your bus or train departs. You can also choose your favorite rideshare provider such as Uber, Bolt and other available ride options like pool or economy.
If you’re biking, then you’ll see routes tailored for cyclists along with everything you need to know about the transit portion of your journey. All of this information is automatically factored into your total travel time and ETA so you can know exactly when you’ll get to your destination.
Transit directions paired with biking and ridesharing has started rolling out across the globe on Android and iOS in 30 countries. It is already available in Nigeria
