As part of the March 2026 Feature Drop<\/a>, Pixel phones are getting two features to help \u201cmanage your commute,\u201d including Transit mode.<\/p>\n Last week, Google publicized At a Glance showing real-time updates about commute conditions. For example, you might see \u201cSignificant delays on work route\u201d at the top of your lock and homescreen. Google will provide specifics underneath like \u201cThe Blue line from Main Station is delayed.\u201d\u00a0This is an extension of the existing \u201cCommute\u201d feature that shows \u201cTraffic info and travel time.\u201d <\/p>\n The second capability is a personalized Transit mode \u201cto turn on helpful settings while you\u2019re on the train.\u201d This is part of the Modes feature (like Do Not Disturb and Driving). Options include:\u00a0<\/p>\n To set volume settings during transit, tap Sound on, Vibrate only, or Silent.<\/p>\n To set connectivity during transit, turn Use Bluetooth while commuting on or off<\/p>\n To receive all notifications, turn on Allow all notifications.<\/p>\n To choose who can send you notifications, tap People.<\/p>\n To set which apps can send you notifications, tap Apps.<\/p>\n To choose which alarms & other interruptions you\u2019ll allow, tap Alarms & other interruptions.<\/p>\n A support document<\/a> for the capability says \u201cGoogle Maps needs time to learn your commute patterns\u201d and that it \u201cmay take 2\u20133 weeks for commute info to appear after initial setup.\u201d At a Glance is specifically leveraging your Maps Timeline (Location history) to learn your commute history and patterns.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n To set up Transit mode and At a Glance commute alerts through the Modes menu<\/p>\n To set both features up, go to Settings > Modes > Transit > App Settings > Set up commute notifications.
