Once the pilot starts, you’ll be able to use Google Pay to board all Staten Island buses and subway stations along the 4-5-6 lines between Grand Central and Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center. Since it’s a pilot and will have limited availability, Maps will also roll out a feature that will show you which routes accept Google Pay in the coming weeks.
A new Assistant feature that can show you transit updates in real time, however, is rolling out today. When you ask Assistant questions like “Hey Google, when is the next 4 train arriving” via your phone, a smart speaker or a Smart Display, it will provide you with ETAs and even a walking route.
