I'll be the one outlier and confess that, interestingly enough, particularly as someone who doesn't drive, that I've never used Google Maps for transit routing. I've visited Chicago, London, San Francisco - and extensively used mass transit in all these places - but it never occurred to me that I could use Google for routing instructions - I've always used the local Cal Train/Bart/Tube/El Apps that give me routing information and departure/arrival times.

In hindsight, I feel a little foolish now that I've discovered that I could have done this with Google Maps (Ironic, given that I _do_ use Google Maps for cycling/walking directions)

I guess that puts me as one of the few Mass Transit riders that won't be negatively impacted by the upgrade (downgrade?) to the iPhone 5.




In San Francisco the iOS 5 maps app doesn't have real-time schedule information on the buses, so it's not that useful except for the route itself.
