Google’s Dussera gift to Delhi: a public transport app

New Delhi, INDIA: This is possibly Google's Dussera gift to Delhi. Recognizing the importance of public transport as an important means of travel in Delhi, Google India has launched the Delhi Public Transport App.

Around 2.60 million people travel by Delhi Metro, according to the latest ridership data.

About 1 MB in size, the app is available for Android users from the Google Play store.

The app also includes a share button, which will generate a link that can be sent to friends via WhatsApp – through which the app can be downloaded directly even without a Google Play Store account.

Built on Google Maps, the app makes the direction and time table information for Delhi Metro and buses available offline.

Moreover, the app users can also give feedback to the Google maps team.
