How can Google tell if i’ve travelled by bus, bike or car?

Question

Every month they send me an email with my km covered by each mean of transport. But how does the algorithm tell if i was riding my bike, or in a slow car? How can it distinguish buses from car? Only because buses stop more often, or because there’s more people with Android devices on the bus?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The speed you travelled at (using your GPS to work it out) and the points at which you stop.
