Here are the top 10 most crowded public transport lines in the world, according to Google Maps:
To choose a route, it's not just the journey time that counts. There are also travel conditions, and Google understands it. On Thursday, June 27th, the company announced that its Google Maps service will now display predictions of filling trains and buses when you are viewing a transit trip in the app. You will be able to know if you will be able to travel seated, or if you will have to tighten against your neighbors during the trip.
This new feature will be gradually available in almost 200 cities, says Google, on both Android and iOS. These data come from voluntary returns provided by the users of the service. Google Maps will also show the real-time bus delay in cities where it does not already have information provided by transport operators.
By collecting this data on the frequentations of the various lines, Google has also been able to draw up a list of the 10 most crowded public transport lines in the world. The company used the information provided by users during the morning rush hour, between 6am and 10am.
Only one French line is in this top 10: line 13 of the Paris metro. In addition, Google indicates that the top 3 of the most crowded lines of the Ile de France network is completed by two bus lines: the Orlybus, which connects Denfert-Rochereau to Paris-Orly airport, and bus 393, between Thiais and Sucy -en-Brie.
