Dhaka bus-train route and schedule added to Google Maps

The Dhaka Times Desk According to a notification from Google, the Google Transit feature will initially be applicable for buses and Bangladesh Railway trains operating in the capital Dhaka.

Google Maps is updating the routes, timings and details of buses and trains running in the capital Dhaka. Now the feature called Google Transit will also provide public transport information. Although this feature is quite old, it has not been effective in Bangladesh for a long time.

According to Google, the feature will also show Google Maps route, stops and estimated travel time. It will make travel planning much easier.

For example, if someone wants to go from Gulshan 1 to Sadarghat, then he needs to type those two places. Then turn on the direction and then the Google map will show the type of vehicle. From there, if the transit option is selected, Google will immediately tell the person the route to the nearest bus stop, which bus he should take, which way he should go and at which stop he should get off. Apart from this, the approximate distance to the destination and all the fare related information will also be given.

Google said in a notification that the Google Transit feature will initially be applicable for buses operating in the capital Dhaka and trains operated by Bangladesh Railways.

People traveling by public transport, who have no idea about the place and route, can also find the estimated journey time through Google Transit.
