Enhanced Transit Info Directly on Google Maps
Earlier this year, Google added public transit stops directly on Google Maps. Google is now improving on that by adding more information about the stops. You can now click on the stop icon on the map and get information such as next departure times, what lines serve a specific station, and/or a link to the transit agency. The level of detail varies from city to city, but they are continually working to add more information.
Adding transit agencies to Google Transit needs the cooperation of the agency, but Google can make these enhancements to Google Maps using information from the transit agency web site and other information sources.

Hi Giri,
Since your blog is dedicated to supporting Google Transit, I thought this would be an appropriate place to have a link or some info to my company, which now takes transit data and converts it to GTFS format for use with Google Transit.
I have heard of 2 other vendors out there that are currently doing this and charging enormous fees. Our service is a fraction of their price. You can see our site at http://NextInsight.com. We also just got the go ahead from Google with our service after passing their GTFS analysis.
You can contact me at cary - at - nextinsight.com
