Google announced new Google Maps and Search features ahead of Earth Day 2024, including better support for trips via train.
In anticipation of this year's Earth Day, Google on Wednesday announced new features for Google Maps and Search that should make travel more sustainable. The company plans to make it easier for travelers to choose alternatives to driving in Maps and Search. Google Maps will suggest public transit alternatives to driving, and you'll find information about trains and buses directly in Google Search. Google also improved how it displays charging station information for electric vehicles.
Google Search will let you find train connections directly on the results page. This new Search feature will be more widely available than the Google Maps suggestions above. Google is rolling out Search support for trains in 38 countries, while long-distance bus routes are coming to 15 countries. Train support is also coming to Google Flights in the coming months, so you can find more sustainable alternatives to flying to your next destination.
