Google Maps announced this back in October:

> Drive , walk and ride : support for mixed-mode commutes

> There’s a new feature for people whose commutes involve both driving and public transit. You can see helpful information about when to leave, and for each leg of your trip: you’ll know if there’s traffic on your drive, when the next train departs, and how long it’ll take to walk from the train station to the office. We do the work for you and automatically factor this into your ETA so you can anticipate exactly when you’ll get to work.

Hmm, I just tried this but it makes you choose your mode of transit. One option is “car and public transit” but then when I tried it it had me walking 17 minutes to a bus to a train station. For a total of 81 minutes right now (when just driving would be 30). Also they’re not taking scooters into account it seems, or the ability to take an Uber from a train station..

Caveat: That feature only works if you pay with enhanced access to your (unrelated) data, by enabling Web and App Activity tracking/logging.

I recently flushed years of Google history but I kept the tracking enabled. I’ll keep flushing it regularly and you could do the same.

I don’t really care that they track me for a short time, it’s not like they don’t keep logs anyway.

This is completely absurd and should be grounds for a GDPR complaint for any EU friends.

Wonder if that’s why this is US only.

I use Citymapper for this; have for years (https://citymapper.com/). It does exactly what you're asking for. I too am surprised that Google hasn't eaten their lunch by baking this into Google Maps.

Oh, I hadn’t seen that! But hmm, it doesn’t seem to have jump bikes/scooters, Lyft scooters, bird, or lime in the scooters section, and again there’s no multi-mode.. it just shows walking/biking/Uber/public transit but not a combination of them. It does have a jet pack option which is nice and forward thinking! :)

I get multi-mode suggestions all the time, although the precise mix of options it suggests does depend on the points you're looking to travel between.

Not sure about their scooter coverage though; I don't use it for that.

citymapper has scooters/bikes and multi-mode

actually it's famous for the second one

I suspect that curating accurate transit data is a lot of boring, never ending work, and on the other hand, Google don't think they will have big enough money there(without building something like UBER, not their style), so they don't bother.

Google Maps already has realtime transit information for Sydney (and I suspect, any other transit system which offers Google Transit APIs).

The cool thing is that for Sydney, the same APIs are available to the public: https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/public-transpo...

Sure. but compared to their competitors, they're really slow.

Google built an API/data standard to standardise this type of data, exactly to solve this problem.

Citymapper[1] will do that to a certain extent and it’s pretty good, especially with docked bikes.

I wish I could tell it I like walking more than catching a connecting bus, so I’m occasionally working on a side project to allow custom routes for common commutes.
