Is there a way to have transit directions select only bus routes or only train routes like you can in Google Maps? I have only tried transit directions on El Cap as my 4s running iOS 9 won't get any transit love.

Well i tried to find it but I can't see the option to just choose one. But a thing about it. I my city (Brussels) we don't have transit so i looked in Germany but they say 'Berlin has it' but I'm able to take a train from Berlin to Hamburg.. so I think they are really working hard on it.

Yeah I'm definitely a fan of it, I love how they actually show where specific stops are within a station or larger terminal. Much better than how Google handles it. Just wish it had that one feature! Let's all request it in feedback?

Does anyone know why the transit stuff doesn't show the specific time the next ride is leaving?

Like, when I search for a connection and hit start, it tells me that I, for example, have to take Bus X. It also shows me that this bus is having an interval of like 10 minutes. But it doesn't show me when the next bus is leaving or the one I am supposed to take. :eek:... So I can't see how much time I have left? Am I just stupid or is this the most important thing they just left out? Every other German transit app does is just fine...

Hm. Maps shows specific departure times for the subway in NY, but not for the bus. And even with the subway, it still goes back and forth. Sometimes it shows specific times, sometimes not.

It looks like most of the time if you select a specific bus stop / tube stop it will show you live time - how ever if you are planning your transit maps doesn't always show live time and defaults to 'Ever X minutes'... How odd
