The Hungarian State Railways schedule is finally part of Google Maps

According to 24.hu, Google Maps has been helping lots of tourists and locals in a hurry, and basically anyone who wants to orient his/herself, for years. The application helps you on the internet or on your smart phone with vocal navigation, tons of information, and useful transport data.

Out of these, probably the incorporation of schedules was the best idea, because Google proposes a route paying respect to the given transport conditions and the possibly late runs, which helps you arrive on time at your destination. Even though train lines are not really affected by traffic jams, it is good news that we can check train schedules on Google Maps from now on.

The 90 railway lines and more than 1200 inland railway stations run by MÁV (Hungarian State Railways), MÁV-START and GYSEV are now part of the system. Ilona Dávid, the president-executive manager of MÁV Inc., can be rightfully proud of the development, because, as she put it, “railway lines are the first to be part of Google Maps out of all the Hungarian point-to-point and distance public transport service providers. We are not the first in Europe, but still among the foregoers with this development, after the French, the German and the Austrian corporations.”
