I was just browsing through Google maps and found that a train station near me was not marked in the maps. So I decided to add it in the maps. While selecting the category there was not option for 'train station ’ though the category is very much visible on other stations which are already on google maps. Are some categories not for everyone

Hi @Advay , thanks for asking
You cannot add a train station because the transit layer is managed directly by the transit companies in Partenership with Google. Local Guides cannot edit that part, and this is the reason why the Train Station category is not available for Local Guides
You can show the next link to the transit company, for them to update the information: About Google Transit

In addition, to keep Connect organized I am changing your topic label to How-tos where Local Guides asks questions about the program or swap advice with each other. For more information about topics on Connect, you can read this article - How to choose a topic for your Connect post.
