DMRC and Google India announced their partnership through Google Transit, to provide complete information on Delhi Metro schedules and routes. Transit service for Delhi Metro would also be available on mobile devices with Google Maps for Mobile, so commuters can check the latest updates to make route changes on-the-go. Google Transit which is a way to navigate on Google maps can give easy information on train timings, station locations, frequency of service, time taken for travel and ticket fares.
 
As Delhi gears up for the Commonwealth Games in October this year, Google Transit will benefit thousands of visitors who are likely to visit the national capital later this year. In addition, as new routes get added to the Metro network, people from Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon would find it useful in accessing information related to routes and train schedules. This free of cost service will be available on desktops as well as mobiles to benefit a wider spectrum of commuters.

r />In line with Delhi Metros vision for a people-centred public transport system, we have launched several initiatives to help commuters better manage their travel time, transfers, and make more informed transport decisions. The collaboration with Google is another step in this direction to make it even easier for the public to plan their trips with transit information on Google Maps, said E Sreedharan, Managing Director, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

As Google maps provide integrated services like local information, driving directions for commuters, with Transit, Delhi Metro commuters would be able to receive information in the following way:
 
#  The user searches for information to reach from Place A to B on Google Maps
#The result shows a map with the possible route and driving directions for the commuter
# By choosing the transit option, commuters would get first hand information on Delhi metro\'s schedule and passing lines in that area
