Google Maps Incorporates New York City Transit Maps

by Peter Mychalcewycz on September 24, 2008 at 06:47 PM



Google is finally mapping something that matters (with all due respect to the earth and oceans): subway routes in New York City.

Yes, Google has decided to add New York City Transit to its infinite list of things already mapped (you'll find other transit systems mapped here). Now, when someone searches for a location in the city, they will be supplied with a list of accompanying mass transit options, driving directions, and for those of us feeling extra-healthy, walking directions. The ever popular Street View will be joined by other features like restaurant view and we assume creepy voyeur view (we made that last one up).

We are sure this new technology will come as a relief to some of the 8.5 million people that use NYC mass transit every weekday. [From: USA Today]
