Uber just made it a lot easier for customers to hop out of one of their cars and onto another form of transportation.
The ride-hailing service announced on Tuesday that its Android app will now allow users to easily access real-time public transportation data. This means customers using Android can better plan trips that require multiple modes of transportation, and say, jump out of an Uber and continue traveling on a bus or train.

The new integration is available in close to 50 cities as of Tuesday, according to a press release put up by Uber.
Now when riders use Uber on an Android device in a supported city, they will see train times pop up in the app when they're within one block of a train station. If riders are interested in taking any of those trains but want to plan their trip a bit more thoroughly, they can tap on the public transit information and enter the Transit app to learn more. Train times will also "refresh regularly" in the ride-sharing app, according to Uber.
Android users in these cities should already have the update:
