An excellent idea, and one which I’d wondered why Google had not offered before – a transit layer for Google Maps.
Although the lines themselves aren’t geographically accurate (at least in the examples they give of London), being only straight lines connecting the stations, it is still a very useful addition to Google Maps.
According to the Google LatLong post, it is currently available in the following cities
Belo Horizonte, Berlin, Bordeaux, Brasilia, Cairo, Capetown, Caracas, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dallas, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Ekaterinburg, Essen, Frankfurt, Genoa, Guadalajara, Hamburg, Helsinki, Johannesburg, Kazan, Köln, Lille, Lisbon, London, Lyon, Madrid, Marseille, Medellin, Mexico City, Monterrey, Montreal, Munich, Naples, Nizhniy Novgorod, Oslo, Paris, Perth, Portland, Porto, Porto Alegre, Prague, Pretoria, Recife, Rennes, Rio de Janeiro, Samara, San Francisco, Santiago, Sao Paulo, Seattle, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Tunis, Vienna, Warsaw.
Knowing Google, this will steadily expand in future…
