Google Maps: New York by bus and subway

7 Oct. 2008 | Author: AWo | german

In October last year, Google Transit was integrated in the route planner of Google Maps (see our report). Since then one has been able to plan one’s routing using public transit in ever increasing numbers of cities and countries. Recently New York made its debut.

Chris Harrelson, a Google employee, in the official company blog, announced this. He outlined this event as a gigantic development. The new addition allows the 20 million people who live in and around New York City, as well as the millions of annual visitors to obtain information on buses and subways via mouse-click.

In total, Google Transit is now represented in over 170 cities and countries globally, with over 70 in North America and 81 in China. Other locations served include several in Europe and Australia, as well as the whole of Japan, Switzerland and Austria.

Even though to date no German city is covered, users may access the existing cities/countries via Google Maps – in the route planner, one can choose between car, pedestrian and Public Transit options.
