Public transit is so prevalent in New York City that I can almost always reach my destination without having to leave the subway. At worst, I have to hop on a bus for the last leg of my journey. But even in NYC, and more often in cities where public transit isn’t quite as ubiquitous, there’s always a chance that the train or the bus or the subway will only get you most of the way there, which is why Google Maps is upgrading its transit directions.
In the coming weeks, Google Maps is going to begin pairing transit directions with biking and ridesharing suggestions to make sure you reach your destination with as little walking as possible. That way, you don’t have to figure out how to proceed once you reach the last stop on your trip with a few miles left to your destination.
