Google announced in late June that it has added public transit data to its Maps API, allowing third-party developers to provide their website and mobile users with public transit routes, color-coded transit layers and schedules to the company locations.

Transit routes will include the number of stops, direction of travel and type of vehicle. For example, for a car rental company, the Transit Layer allows you to show all the major bus transit lines that run past each of your locations.
