To access transit directions on Apple Maps, simply open the Maps app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, and then enter your destination in the search bar and tap on the “Directions” button. After that, select the “Transit” tab (displayed as a train icon) to view public transport options. You’ll be able to choose routes based on departure time, estimated travel duration, and the number of transfers involved. Apple Maps will also display scheduled departure times and walking instructions to and from transit stops.
Transit navigation works seamlessly with Apple’s other features like calendar integration, Siri, and Apple Watch, helping users stay on track throughout their journey. You can also mark favourite routes, receive notifications for transfers, and follow real-time updates when available.
