Google Maps will show alternative routes

In an effort to get users to get to their destination by bus or train rather than by car, or better yet, on their own feet, Google Maps will have a new feature. Next to driving routes, Google Maps will show users alternatives to public transportation and walking that will get them to their destination without having to hold the steering wheel. These alternatives will appear «if the travel time is comparable and practical». Google announced the announcement in a blog post today.

The announcement was made by Google today.

Suggestions for alternative public transportation and walking will appear at the bottom of the screen as a card labeled «Also consider» that will preview recommended alternative activities. The card will also prompt the user if any of these alternatives are faster than driving. The goal is to find alternatives that use less carbon. The feature will be available in 15 cities around the world in the next few weeks, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Montreal, Paris, Rome and Sydney.

Google Maps has also introduced a feature that will help users find more information about long-distance train and bus routes in search mode. For example, a search using the query «train Boston —Philadelphia» will bring up schedules and ticket prices on the results page, along with links to click to book a trip. The feature is available for trains in 38 countries and for bus routes in 15 countries.

Last year, Google added train route suggestions when searching for flights in Search. In the coming months, train route suggestions will appear when you search for flights using Google Flights. In the latter case, you’ll also see estimated emissions for almost every flight and can filter the results to show you the flights with the lowest emissions first.
