Starting today it will be much easier to know how long until the 6 Train arrives at 68th Street – Hunter College. Google has added at-a-glance view of details for real-time transit.
[blockquote author=””] Starting today in Google Maps, relevant journeys are handily arranged and summarized in the app—so it’s easy to know at a glance how long you’ll be waiting and what your other options are if you just miss that bus.[/blockquote]
Since 2007 Google Maps has provided real-time transit information for public services. Things get increasingly better today, however, with the expansion into two new countries and four metro areas.
Google works with more than 100 partners across the world and offers transit info on some 18,000 cities spanning six continents. To do this they employ the help of 6,000+ transit authorities.
Both the web experience and the mobile apps are expected to start offering the at-a-glance details.
