Google has been working hard at bringing public transportation information to its Google Maps app over the past year. They've expanded coverage for New York's Subway (MTA) system while adding information for Salt Lake City and Washington D.C. Those in New York will now see departure times for seven of the subway lines. If you're in Salt Lake City you'll be able to see the bus and tram (UTA) schedule updated in real time. People who use D.C.'s Metrorail will be able to see live service alerts. These alerts include scheduled track work as well as unplanned delays straight from Metrorail's Control Center. So if you live or travel in these areas make sure you download Google Maps as you'll be able to take advantage of this real time updating travel information.
