Transit Layer on Google Maps for 50 Cities
February 2nd, 2009
The Transit layer is a visual overlay of public transit options on Google Maps, which offer an alternative to driving directions wherever possible. The next time you visit London and want to visit the Tate Modern, you can simply search for [Tate Modern] on Google Maps, and then click on “More” and activate “Transit” to see nearby tube stations and which lines serve them. You can even click on a station and see which transit lines are passing through right now. The layer is available for 50 cities around the world, including Chicago, Dallas, London, Madrid, Paris, San Francisco and Seattle, and you can find schedule data and itineraries for any transportation agencies that are part of Google Transit.
