If you are based in New Delhi or are planning a trip to the Indian Capital in the near future but have no clue about the city’s transportation system, here’s something that should interest you.
All the Delhi Metro Rail stations and train routes are now available on Google Maps.
You just have to key-in your current location (where you are starting from) and the end address (where you are going to) and Google Maps will instantly give you the required information such as which Metro should you take and the train’s schedule.
If there’re no Metro stations at your starting address, Google Maps will automatically suggest you a path and the best mode of transportation for you to quickly reach the nearest Metro station.
In addition to Delhi DMRC, Google Maps also includes transit details for Kolkata Metro, Chennai MRTS and Hyderabad MMTS. Here’s a video demo on how you can use Google Maps to plan trips with the metro service in Delhi and other cities.
If you don’t plan to travel by Metro but are only curious to know the areas in Delhi that are connected by Metro Rail, just check the “Transit” option under the “More” menu.
Thanks Arpit Kumar for the tip.
