Public transport may have a bad rap, but it’s often the best way to explore a new place. Whether you’re visiting a big city or a small town, you can hop on a bus, tram or tube and discover the local sights and sounds. Google Maps has just made this easier by adding 17,000 new public transport routes across the UK. You can now plan your trips with Google Maps on your phone or computer and see the best time and route for your journey. The update will be available on Android, iOS and desktop soon. Google Maps is similar to other transport apps like Citymapper, which covers London, Paris, Berlin and New York. Did you know that the UK has the oldest railway system in the world? Or that the London Underground is the world’s first metro system? Or that the UK has over 1,500 bus operators? These are some of the facts that David Tattersall, product manager for Public Transport in Google Maps, shared when he announced the changes. He said: ‘Starting today, Google Maps for iPhone, Android and desktop shows public transport across Great Britain, creating a comprehensive one-stop-shop for public transport. You can now check the best time and route for millions of departures for trains, tubes, trams, buses and ferries every day. You’ll now know when the next trip is departing, how many stops and how far your walk is between each station.’ To make this possible, Google added schedules from National Express and partnered with Traveline to collate information from 1,500 local and national operators including Centro and Merseyside.
