Unfamiliar Technology: Google Maps Transit Layer (selected cities)

  • Jan 15, 2009 at 8:57 AM


No colored bus lines are found, but there are clickable popups on the transit stops. Shows the next two departures, may or may not be hooked in to real-time transit info.

Enable under "More...transit"; Drag the little man for the "street view."
Here's a link to downtown SF, botttom of Market Street.

This one looks much more useful than the "Wikipedia" feature.
