Preguntas frecuentes
Does this show real-time bus and train times?
In most cities, yes. Google Maps and Apple Maps show live departure times for buses, trains, and metros. In smaller towns, they may only show scheduled times.
Do I need internet for this?
You need internet to search for routes. Once you have the directions on screen, you can follow them even if you lose signal briefly, but live updates require a connection.
Can I see how much the ticket costs?
Google Maps shows fare estimates in many cities. Apple Maps is adding this feature in more cities too.
What if I miss my stop?
The app will recalculate your route and show you how to get back on track. Keep the app open during your journey for live tracking.
