Brooklynites on their thanks to the most recent Reggie Watts show have long had real-time bus-tracking information , but public-transit aficionados in six other cities now have one less cause of BK envy. With the newest version of Google Maps , even the least cool citizens of Boston, Portland, Ore., San Diego, San Francisco, Madrid and Turin can see not only when their bus or train is scheduled to reach, but if it actually will. Selecting a stop at the map displays “live departure times” and repair alerts, way to Google’s data-sharing partnerships with city transit operators. That isn’t always guarantee fewer delays or less waiting, but can help you riders budget their time, and perhaps find those precious seconds essential to post more Tumblr pictures of “ironic” Hitler-kittens.
