MapmyIndia has rolled out a crucial feature update to its Google Maps-like navigation app, Mappls. The multimodal public transport route feature will allow users to access public transport routes and information such as bus stations, metro stops, bus networks, and routes that require interchanging, enabling users to plan their travels more efficiently. It will also reduce the hassle of switching between apps and websites to get data on certain public transport.

Rakesh Verma, Co-Founder, Chairman and Managing Director at MapmyIndia Mappls said, “The launch of multimodal public transport routes on the Mappls App is a direct outcome of listening to our users. We want the Mappls App to be more inclusive and accessible for every citizen.” The company is also revealed to collaborate with official transport authorities and other companies to add more routes, services, and cities to the app. This will ensure that the data available on the app is precise and reliable.

In addition, it's available in selected cities that include Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Indore, Patna, Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Jaipur, Kochi, and Bhopal. The company assured that this feature will also be introduced for Android users in the near future.
