Google and the Transport for NSW department have collaborated to bring a feature to Google Maps that other cities across Australia including Canberra, Adelaide and even our own Lucas Burnett in Perth, have been enjoying for years: Public Transport Directions. You can now enter in an origin and a destination and choose a departure or arrival time within Sydney in Google Maps, Select ‘By public transport’ and receive schedule information from buses, ferries, trains and light rail services operating in greater metropolitan Sydney. The service is also available in 12 different languages including Mandarin, Spanish and German.

Pretty cool feature but one that is long overdue, this new service adds to the Bike direction feature that Google added a little over 2 weeks ago and it makes those Google Now cards look a little more interesting for you Sydney dwellers, now if Google can just add some sporting score functionality to them, that’d be great M’Kay.
