THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Google Maps will soon showcase real-time bus information for specific routes in the city through a special Google Transit feature. Users can simply click on the bus stop symbol on Google Maps to access details of buses passing through that stop.

This feature distinguishes between live and scheduled bus information. Live status provides real-time details while scheduled status only displays the bus timetable. Currently, this live system is being trialed on 50 city buses operating on select routes, including 1A (Red), 2A (Blue), 3A (Magenta) and others.

KSRTC announced that this system will eventually offer real-time information for all city buses. This initiative aims to enhance convenience for commuters by providing accurate bus timings. To access real-time bus information, users can locate the bus stop symbol on Google Maps for the listed routes.
