Google Maps adds wheelchair-accessible routes to public transit navigation, starting with six major cities

That’s why it’s nice to see that starting today, Google is rolling out a「wheelchair accessible」routing option to Google Maps … Initially, the feature will only be available in Boston, New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, and Mexico City, though Google says it’s working with other transit agencies to bring more wheelchair-accessible routes to additional locations in the coming months … On top of working with local governments, Google says it’s using information provided by users in its Local Guides program to improve accessibility information in Google Maps, like whether a place has a wheelchair-accessible restroom or a step-free entrance.
