[Singapore] Downtown Line 3 stations on Google Maps

[boyshawn]

Hi fellow Singapore Local Guides!

This is my first post on the Local Guide community, so apology if I have accidentally violated any forum rules unknowingly.

I wanted to check how can I contribute to add all the new Downtown Line (DTL) 3 MRT stations information onto Google Maps. I know that I can add them individually by hand, but I don't think I can add all the extra information such as Stop ID and Departure Board. Will love to contribute to make new commuters know more about travelling on DTL.

Hello,

Thank you for your dedication to keep the map up to date.

Transit data is in a layer not editable by users.  Google instead partners with transit authorities to add the data.  I'm afraid that you will not be able to submit such edits.

Hi both,

This info is not editable by end users or local guides, it is officially added in the backend by Google.

I have actually already submitted a request to them to have it updated as soon as possible. I know the DTL3 has been running for a few days but not yet showing in google maps. 

In the future, you can also send it as feedback inside the maps app, and or raise the issue here in Connect.

@boyshawn also, welcome to Connect! 😃

@JulienHand @Flash, thanks for the information! I have submitted a App feedback according to what you have suggested. I guessed we just have to wait for the official Google Maps data update.

@boyshawn cool. looking forward to more great submissions from you.
