MapmyIndia Mappls Launches Multimodal Public Transport Routes for Smarter Commuting
MapmyIndia Mappls, India’s leading digital mapping and location-intelligence company, has announced a significant expansion of its flagship Mappls App. The platform now features multimodal public transport routes, integrating metro, rail, and bus information directly into its interface. This update positions Mappls as a comprehensive mobility platform that seamlessly brings together private and public transport experiences within a single, indigenous app.
Enhancing Urban Mobility in India
With a user base exceeding 40 million, Mappls now empowers commuters to plan more efficient and sustainable journeys. The new feature allows users to view:
- Detailed public transport routes.

This integration is a direct response to user feedback, aimed at making the app more inclusive and accessible for every citizen. By providing easy access to public transit data, Mappls seeks to encourage the adoption of mass transit, which contributes to reduced traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions in urban areas.
