New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New Jersey Transit, which together carry more than 9 million people a day, are working with the company to give users one place to go for maps, schedules and trip planners…

…New Jersey Transit plans to share maps and schedules with Google as part of a pilot program to post more information about the system on the Web…MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin confirmed the New York agency is also working with Google Transit. He declined to give specifics.

The useless touchscreens appearing in NYC cabs could use a reason to exist, like this one. The agile companies who move quickly to provide information to the search giant when it comes will prosper.
