Ready, set, cards! If your day isn’t starting out with Google Now cards, you may be heading out unprepared and about to be a victim of traffic jams, fast approaching storms, and worst of all, a route into work that has you bumper to bumper instead of humming along. Suddenly that express bus isn’t looking so swift after all. You could spend your precious morning minutes going online to check on the weather, then the traffic, then seeing what alternate options you might find on your local transit website. Or you could just wake up, open Google Now on your DROID RAZR HD by Motorola, and everything is brought right to your homescreen.
With the Weather card showing rain, causing the traffic jam as reflected on your Traffic card, that bus is out, and it’s off to the train. The Transit card pops up with the schedule for nearby buses and trains. You see the next train is in 6 minutes, perfect timing. And then if your train is delayed by mechanical difficulties on the tracks ahead and just sitting there at the station, once again, the transit card on Google Now will show you all the alternate buses and trains nearby. No more standing by like all the lemmings waiting for further instructions. You can easily set up the cards you want to see, when you want to see them. Google Now let’s you be the maestro of your morning commute.
Please visit the Motorola Google+ page here to see more examples of the Google Now Transit Cards in action.
