Hi @Garg_Saab ,

Thanks for sharing!

Should that come in handy for the commuters, kudos letting the community know! : ]

Just as a note, please the feature would yet to be fully rolled out, should there be a need of patience.

By the way, would you mind checking the demo link, just in case?

Dear @sonnyNg

I understand your concern and will keep a note of it.

As I also mentioned this feature is yet to be fully rolled out for the audience around the world.

I have updated the post with the demo gif instead.

Thanks for your suggestion.
