Google introduces a new feature that allows users to know accessible public transport routes for people in wheelchairs, with the aim of facilitating travel in public transport for people with reduced mobility. This new function is available in five major cities such as London, Tokyo, Mexico City, Boston and Sydney.
To use this new function it is necessary to access the Google Maps application and enter the address in the search engine. Next, the user must choose the route in public transport and there, pressing the "options" button will show the possibility of marking "wheelchair accessible" as a new type of route. Once selected this option, Google Maps will generate a list of alternative routes suitable for people with reduced mobility, which will take into account factors such as whether a station has stops, platforms or entrances and exits conditioned for wheelchairs.
