Apple Maps will be offering Transport and Ride options with an estimated time of arrival along with the distance between the current location of the user and his destination. Users will also be able to check all available routes for their destination.

This means that on entering the location, the app suggests rides from cab services like Ola and Uber along with the fair charges. As soon as the user clicks on the cab option, it takes you to the respective app allowing you to quickly book the cab.

According to reports from GSMArena, things like transport information still is missing, which means that users won't be able to find out how to reach a particular destination using public transport like a bus or a train. Other missing features include the flyover support and a 3D view of the area.
