India’s navigation app Mappls has received a major update, making it easier for people to travel using public transport.
With this new feature, users can now check bus, metro, and train routes directly within the app, positioning Mappls as a strong Indian alternative to Google Maps.
Plan Your Daily Commute in One Place
Previously, commuters often had to use multiple apps or ask around to find public transport routes.
Now, Mappls brings all options together in one place.
Users can view nearby bus stops, metro stations, train routes, and interchange points on the same map.
This makes planning journeys simpler, especially in big cities where commuting usually involves more than one mode of transport.
Whether you are heading to the office, college, or exploring a new area, the app helps plan routes with less confusion.
Available in Major Indian Cities
The new public transport feature is currently live in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and a few other major cities.
It is available on iOS and web platforms, while the Android version will get the update soon.
Users can now see public transport routes alongside regular navigation features, eliminating the need to switch between apps.
Why This Update Matters
Mappls was previously used mainly by drivers and bikers.
By adding public transport options, the app now serves a larger group of users.
In crowded cities, buses and metros are often the fastest and most affordable way to travel.
The company believes that by making public transport easier to use, more people will choose it over private vehicles.
This can help reduce traffic congestion and pollution, which are major problems in Indian cities.
Mappls Plans to Grow Further
With millions of users across India, Mappls continues to improve its services.
Unlike Google Maps, it focuses on Indian roads, cities, and travel habits, giving it an edge in local navigation.
In the future, Mappls plans to expand to more cities and improve transport data, making it a daily travel companion for urban commuters across the country.
