Google Transit NYC

Google released Google Transit for New York today. It's pretty much what you would expect from the project, which started over 3 years ago for Portland, Oregon. Here's a sample from a recent (fictional) shopping trip. Kind of an obvious feature, but nice to finally have. I wonder how HopStop will react.

Unfortunately, it's not on the iPhone version of Google Maps yet, which would require a full software update since it's baked into the system. Hopefully they get to that soon.
