Google Wallet App Adding Real-Time Status To Train Tickets

After previewing back in September, the Google Wallet Android app can now show the real-time status of trains, starting in two countries.

Those in India (Indian Railways) and Canada (Via Rail) that add their train tickets to Google Wallet can see whether their upcoming ride is On time, Delayed, and other status updates.

This will appear directly on the card in the Wallet homepage, as well as the top of the full ticket. Google will note the new estimated departure time. You’ll also get “Your train is delayed” notifications.

Meanwhile, the Google Wallet website has been updated to let you add Loyalty and Gift Card passes. With the Loyalty Program Enrollment, “users with manually added loyalty passes to Wallet are now able to upgrade their passes to Wallet API integrated passes.”

Additionally: “On March 11th, Google Wallet launched in Jordan and Pakistan! Users can now add cards, passes, and pay with the GPay checkout button across all Android, Wear and Fitbit devices.”

The Google Wallet team also says to look out for announcements at I/O 2025 next month: “hear about all of the changes coming to Google Wallet and Google Pay.”
