Google Maps adds bus transit information gives routes and schedules in maps.

Google just added another important layer of information to their Maps in Google Transit, the transit routes of buses and trams.

Click this link here about the Switzerland transit lines information and you will similar to the picture. It gives the bus and tram availability in the form of buttons in the map. Click the bus or tram icon, it gives a summary information about the bus. And you can get the route details by entering to and from details.


By double clicking the icons, it gives a summary schedule like the picture below.

Mashable.com has found many routes that have transit route information in Google Maps such as Vernon Station, Los Angeles, Vienna, Zurich, Boston, and Los Angeles.

You can try to find whether similar transit routes are available near your area, if not point them this, hopefully they will add it soon.

If you try and you are unable to find transit routes, Google Transit gives you another option to find the best routes, so you can use it also.

Let me know if you have any problems, they are easy to set up, you can send invoices, and put payment buttons just like Paypal. The service charges are very less compared to Paypal. I am in the US Raleigh. Cheers.
