Following up my latest post on exploiting city data, Google just released live transit updates in Google Maps mobile and desktop. Google partnered with transit agencies to integrate live transit data in four U.S. cities and two European cities that include Boston, Portland, Ore., San Diego, San Francisco, Madrid and Turin.

When you click on a transit station or plan a transit route with Google Maps and there are delays or alerts related to your trip, you’ll now see “live departure times” (indicated with a special icon) and service alerts.
