Are you tired of getting lost in the labyrinthine streets of Kathmandu? Do you often find yourself struggling to figure out the best public transportation routes? Well, worry no more! Baato Maps, a leading local map service provider, proudly announces the release of its highly anticipated public transit routing feature in the Baato Maps mobile application.
Baato Maps has successfully launched its new public transit routing feature, setting itself apart from other national map applications. Through the laborious manual digitization of Kathmandu’s public transportation data, Baato Maps has successfully implemented this feature in Nepal for the first time. It provides users with information about public transit routes, catering to a wide range of individuals with diverse needs and preferences. This exclusive feature, currently accessible only in Kathmandu, represents a remarkable milestone in the digital transformation of public data in Nepal
As Nepalis, we are accustomed to landmark-based navigation, a practice of navigating through visual aid of recognizable landmarks on the road which may have been influenced by inadequate mobility infrastructure. This traditional method of sharing directions has become ingrained in our daily lives and is what we feel most comfortable with. Recognizing the importance of familiarity and ease of use, Baato has leveraged this concept and digitized it, making navigation significantly more accessible and user-friendly. Baato recognizes this situation and is committed to bridging the cultural gap in quality of mobility infrastructure through the power of technology.
The consequences of inefficient navigation and difficult mobility can be far-reaching. Inadequate navigation systems can lead to increased travel times, traffic congestion, and wasted resources. Additionally, it can impede economic progress by hindering the movement of people and goods. Efficient navigation plays a vital role in enhancing productivity and facilitating economic growth. It enables businesses to operate smoothly, connects individuals with job opportunities, and supports tourism, which in turn contributes to local economies. Keeping all this in mind, Baato Maps has taken a stand to address these issues that are prevalent in Nepal today and improve the overall navigation experience with the introduction of this new Public Transit feature.
The new feature is a boon for commuters who rely on buses, micros, tempos, and other public transportation options but may lack familiarity with the routes served by these vehicles. With the new feature, you will be offered valuable information about vehicles operating in unfamiliar destinations. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a curious tourist exploring the wonders of Kathmandu, this feature will make your life so much easier. The app will provide you with the most efficient public transit route, complete with estimated travel times and any necessary transfers. It’s like having a personal guide right in your pocket.
Baato is much more than just a navigation tool. With Baato Maps, you can save your favorite restaurants as favorites allowing you to create a personalized list of go-to eateries. But it doesn’t stop there! Baato Maps goes the extra mile by reminding you when you’re just a few meters away from your favorite restaurants. This way, you can effortlessly find your way to your preferred dining spots without wasting time on deciding where and what to eat. Other than this, Baato Maps helps you find nearby ATMs, Hospitals, Pharmacies and much more!
While the public transit routing feature is still in the experimental phase, there is a possibility that it may occasionally provide inaccurate information or suggest routes that are no longer running. We sincerely request our users to kindly report any such issues they encounter. Your valuable feedback will greatly assist us in enhancing the app’s functionality and ensuring a seamless user experience.
Baato Maps takes pride in enhancing its local map service by introducing this innovative and user-friendly public transit feature, further enhancing the navigation experience for its users.
