Google Wallet now brings even more notifications to your lock screen

Google Wallet is getting new features and improvements all the time, which is quite surprising for an app that was initially designed as a simple digital wallet. Over the years, Wallet has become so much more than just a digital wallet, as Google thoroughly added dozens of new functionalities that allow users to manage not just their payments cards, but also pass tickets, keys, and even IDs.

The most recent Google Wallet update adds new features that are especially important for commuters. Starting today, Google’s Wallet digital wallet app will show in real-time the status of your train ride.

You’ll be notified directly on your phone’s lock screen whether your train will be arriving on time or if it’s delayed. In order for these notifications to happen, users will first have to add their train tickets to the Google Wallet app.

The bad news is this is not available for all railroad companies and, more importantly, only live in two countries: India and Canada. For the time being, Google Wallet users in these countries will be able to add their train tickets in the app if they’re from Indian Railways or Via Rail.
