Google Now Allows Users To Book A Cab From Search Results

This feature was earlier made available on Google Maps along with a dedicated tab with information regarding cab services.

 

Google has today announced a new feature that would allow users to book an Ola or Uber directly from Google Search. The feature comes with an option that allows users to choose from a menu of ride service options, directly from the Google Search App. It is also being said that the new feature is available on Mobile Search Browser as well.

To refresh you, this feature was made  available on the latest version of Google Maps earlier this year - featuring a dedicated tab with information for cab services in addition to the existing driving, public transport, or walking options.

Further speaking on the new feature, it provides users fare estimates and pick up times as well.

On request for specific information such as “Taxi to Bangalore airport” or more specifically “Uber to Bangalore airport” or “Ola to Bangalore airport”, the app/ browser directs the user to select a service and automatically opens the app to book the ride, all in just one tap. In cases where the app is not installed on the device, Google Search will show a link to install the app.

“Choosing the best transit option can be a task at times, our aim is to help users simplify their everyday travel. With this, users will be able to order, explore and make quick comparisons about the best estimated taxi fare directly from Google Search results on their mobile,” said Sanket Gupta, Program Manager, Google.
