Baato Maps launches Public Transport Routing feature, a first-of-its-kind in Nepal

काठमाडौं ।

Baato Maps, a leading local map service provider, proudly announces the launch of its highly anticipated public transit routing feature in the Baato Maps mobile application. This groundbreaking feature, currently available exclusively in Kathmandu, marks a significant milestone in the digitization of public data in Nepal.

Unlike several international and national map applications, Baato Maps has successfully executed the public transit routing feature, manually digitizing data available about Kathmandu’s public transportation network. This feature provides valuable public transit route information to users, catering to a diverse range of individuals.

Public transit routing is particularly beneficial for commuters who rely on public transportation but are unfamiliar with the routes served by these vehicles. It also offers immense value to tourists exploring Kathmandu’s vibrant cityscape and even regular public transport users seeking information on vehicles operating in unfamiliar destinations.

Baato Maps acknowledges that this feature is currently in an experimental phase and may occasionally provide incorrect information in rare cases. However, the Baato Maps team actively encourages users to report any such issues they encounter, allowing for continuous improvements and updates.

Baato Maps has recently become popular for its distinctive landmark-based navigation, which reflects the way Nepalis traditionally share directions. By incorporating recognizable landmarks into the navigation instructions, Baato Maps ensures users receive relevant and practical guidance during their journeys. Additionally, Baato Maps offers offline maps and an engaging food exploration feature, further enhancing its appeal and usability.

This milestone feature reinforces Baato’s commitment to delivering innovative and locally tailored map services that cater to the needs of the Nepali community. Baato Maps continues to evolve and expand its offerings to provide reliable and user-friendly map services for businesses and individuals across Nepal. With the launch of the public transit routing feature, Baato Maps remains at the forefront of digital mapping innovation in the country.
