Google has launched a new AI tool that predicts bus arrival times with real-time accuracy. The system uses live data from transit agencies and traffic conditions to give up-to-the-minute updates. This helps riders know exactly when their bus will arrive, reducing wait times and uncertainty.

The technology works by analyzing current bus locations, road congestion, weather, and historical patterns. It updates predictions every few seconds as conditions change. Early tests in several cities showed significant improvements over older schedule-based estimates. Riders now get more reliable information through Google Maps and other transit apps powered by this system.

Transit agencies benefit too. They can share accurate data without building new infrastructure. The AI integrates smoothly with existing systems. It also adapts quickly to service changes or unexpected delays like accidents or road closures.

Google says the tool is already active in over 50 cities worldwide. More locations will be added in the coming months. The company worked closely with local transportation departments to ensure the data is both timely and secure. Privacy remains a priority, as no personal rider information is used in the prediction process.

Users have responded positively. Many say they feel more confident planning trips using public transit. Fewer missed connections and shorter waits make bus travel more appealing. The system also supports greener transportation choices by making public transit easier to use.

This update is part of Google’s broader effort to improve urban mobility. The company continues to invest in tools that help people move efficiently through cities. Real-time transit data plays a key role in that mission.
