Multimodal public transport routes are now available on Mappls, an app developed by MapMyIndia. This new capability allows users to monitor public transport paths in prominent cities, enhancing their travel experience. The feature facilitates access to metro, rail, and bus routes all within the app, simplifying the travel planning process.

Understanding Multimodal Public Transport Routes on Mappls

MapmyIndia has introduced an essential update to its navigation application, Mappls, akin to Google Maps. The multimodal public transport route option enables users to retrieve information about public transport, including bus stations, metro stops, and bus networks requiring transfers. This addition promotes more organised travel planning and alleviates the need to toggle between various applications or websites for transport data.

Rakesh Verma, who is the Co-Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director at MapmyIndia, stated that the introduction of multimodal public transport routes on the Mappls App stems directly from user feedback. The aim is for the Mappls App to be an inclusive and accessible resource for all citizens. Furthermore, the company has partnered with official transport authorities and other organisations to expand the app’s offerings in terms of routes, services, and cities. This collaboration ensures that the information provided is accurate and trustworthy.

Current Availability of Multimodal Public Transport Routes

The multimodal public transport route feature on Mappls is presently accessible in the iOS and web versions of the app. Additionally, users in select cities can take advantage of this feature, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Indore, Patna, Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Jaipur, Kochi, and Bhopal. The company has confirmed that this functionality will soon be available for Android users as well.
