Coming soon: Get travel tips from Google Maps when you take Delhi Metro

DMRC ties up with Google to provide seamless travel to commuters

To provide seamless travel, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has joined hands with Google Maps to provide its commuters complete information on Delhi Metro routes, line details, platform details, fares, etc.

This partnership with Google would further Delhi Metro’s vision for providing a better commuter-friendly public transport system, the DMRC said.

The move would be beneficial to both new and existing commuters to manage their travel time, and make more informed transport decisions, said the corporation. 

Transit details for the Delhi Metro would also be available on mobile devices with Google Maps so that commuters can check available Metro schedules to make changes on the go and plan their trips accordingly, the statement said.

Google Maps provide integrated services such as local information, driving directions for commuters with features like transit. The commuters would be able to receive tips to travel from one place to another through Google Maps. The maps would also show possible routes and driving directions for the commuter.

The interactive feature would give an option to open Delhi Metro’s schematic maps, a quick way to travel around their city, in addition to route-finding Google Maps. 

In the next stage of this collaboration, the Delhi Metro plans to integrate facilities available at the station such as parking, rest rooms, etc, the corporation said.
