Google Maps will now tell you when you’ve arrived at your train station — like Caltrain’s San Francisco terminal — or when it’s time to change bus lines.
Stephen Shankland/CNETIf you’ve ever worried about missing your stop, take heart: Google Maps will help you manage public transit a little better now.
For people using the navigation service on Android phones, Google Maps now will offer departure times, estimate when you’ll arrive and alert you when you’re at your bus stop or have to transfer to another train line.
For years, Google Maps has shown progress in regard to driving, but the move helps make public transit more convenient, too. That could be especially helpful when you’re on unfamiliar routes or in new cities.
