The fuel-efficient routes debuted two years ago for users in the United States and are now available in Europe, Egypt, and Canada. Google promises to launch it in India and Indonesia by December 31. It will also support two-wheelers in these two countries, considering that many people in these regions use a motorcycle.
Google isn’t stopping here and says it’ll also provide users with alternative means of transportation when searching for directions. In other words, the company wants to make people use their cars less and stick with public transportation to reduce emissions.
The feature will debut in France, with Google Maps to display public transit and walking directions right next to driving routes when searching for driving directions to a destination. The alternative modes of transportation will only show up when “travel times are comparable and practical.”
For example, if traffic conditions for a driving route are so bad that it takes 15 minutes to arrive at the destination, but you could arrive at the address within a 20-minute walk, Google Maps would suggest leaving your car at home for the trip. Public transportation could also be faster, so users in France will see more suggestions in Google Maps. The feature will start rolling out “in the near future,” which can mean anything from later this year to some point in 2024.
