Amazon Location Service announces public transit and intermodal routing
Amazon Location Service today announced support for public transit and intermodal routing in the Routes API. Developers can now use the CalculateRoutes operation with two new travel modes, Transit and Intermodal, to plan journeys that combine public transportation with walking, driving, taxi, and rental segments. With public transit routing, applications can calculate point-to-point routes using buses, subways, trains, ferries, and other transit types, including walking directions to and from stops, departure and arrival times, and transit line details. Intermodal routing extends this by combi
The continuous evolution of location-based services and the increasing demand for integrated travel solutions are driving these incremental improvements.
This development enhances the capabilities of location-based applications, supporting more complex logistical planning and potentially improving urban mobility solutions.
Developers can now build applications that offer comprehensive public transit and intermodal journey planning, integrating various transport modes seamlessly.
