Those extra minutes I'm forced to wait seem like an eternity, and the only information I can access on my phone is when the bus was supposed to arrive. Starting now, Google Maps for mobile and desktop can tell you when your ride is actually going to arrive with new live transit updates.

You can get live transit updates in the latest version of Google Maps for mobile (requires Android 1.6+), as well as Google Maps on all supported desktop and mobile browsers.     |
