≡ Google is offering public transit info for mobile phones
There have been reports of Street Teams, if you will, showing passers by the unique features of the Google maps on their mobile phones in public transportation areas all across the US. One of the interesting things that the information provides is what time the next bus, train, tram, subway or rail car will be coming by your stop. You can even get a calculated time of arrival. Get ready for the Googleland Express, all aboard!
Addition: 8-4-08:
Google Transit lists public transportation information for some major cities such as Austin, Tx. for trip planning. This is going to be a huge help for those who can afford a cell phone with a broadband connection and are going to need a ride with public transportation.
