Most people have fallen asleep on a train or bus after a long day at work or a party, only to find they have missed their stop and face a hefty taxi fare home.
But a new feature on Google Now could put an end to such misery and enable people to take a nap without worrying about the consequences.
Google has added an alarm to its service that already voluntarily offers people information about the weather, their journey and upcoming appointments.
And the new system means the service can now automatically calculate when to set an alarm based on saved locations such as home and work, plus public transport information, Android Police reported.
The alarm ‘knows’ how long the journey should last and when the users should get off the bus or train.
By tapping the screen, the alarm will wake them  up in time for their stop. and save a long walk home or that costly taxi ride.
The service is only available in select areas where transport information is available, and works for users of Android smartphones and tablets as well as iPhones and iPads.
