BDZ put its timetable on Google maps, the state railway carrier announced. From now on, when people are setting a specific route on the territory of Bulgaria on the Internet platform, travel directions for train travel will also provided, which expands the possibilities for choosing the right means of transport.

Navigation in Google Maps by rail is feasible alongside other types - by car, public transport, bicycle or by foot. Train card user information on the card service is available after a specific rail route is listed in the main menu.

Already in February, the BDZ team started a correspondence for the inclusion of the national rail carrier as a transport option and a licensed agreement with Google maps was signed in March to provide train timetable data. Due to the scale of the schedule data, it took time for them to test.
