Alexa recently became a guide to traveling by public transportation with the introduction of the new Alexa Transit feature. The voice assistant added information on buses and trains, including real-time updates in seven major U.S. cities, with plans to add many more. Alexa Transit was released at the same time with the new Amazon Echo Buds hearables, a combination likely aimed at boosting Alexa use outside of the home over Google Assistant or Siri.
What cities does Alexa Transit cover?
Right now, Alexa’s public transportation knowledge covers New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, and Newark and Jersey City area in New Jersey.
