Google Transit Makes Public Transportation Easier

Google has added an easy to use public transportation layer called Google Transit to its map application. Over 50 world city maps now include a handy way to plan car-free trips. Although Google maps will already list the locations and schedules of public transportation options where available, this new tool allows users to get a holistic picture of an area’s transportation map and figure out routes when they don’t come up in a search.
