TAIPEI (Taiwan News)-- After hints that transit support should be made available for Taiwan, Apple has finally added Taiwan to its transit directions in its app Maps with the new update.

Apple recently updated its map app and has added the feature of transit direction and data for Taiwan which was not available in the previous version of the app.

The app users can now select routes from public transportation when navigating across the country. Transit options are now available in Taipei, Kaohsiung and other major cities in Taiwan.

The app also provides support for Taiwan Railway and High Speed Rail as well as for subways like the Mass Rapid Transit systems in Taipei and Kaohsiung.

Transit direction was a facility initially launched in 2015 with the unveiling of iOS 9. At that moment, this facility was only made available for a handful of cities but with the new updates the company has tried hard to expand this feature by adding more than dozens of countries and many more cities around the world, with Taiwan being its latest addition.
