Google Maps includes Transit Data
Formally they only way to access this for the 21 (most in the US) cities was via
http://www.google.com/transit
But it seems from today that is now available via the Google Maps main portal.
It's a good way to help get information to the user, real-time traffic can also be overlayed to see any potential delays.
The coverage hopefully expands and in due course 'city' commuters will be able to access it via mobile devices.
No European Cities to date.
