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.
