Sydney commuters can now use the public transport options on Google Maps thanks to a collaboration between Google and the NSW Government.

Google Maps was actually developed by Sydney engineers in 2005, so it is good to see these features finally arrive.

In addition to choosing to drive, walk or cycle you can now choose public transport as an option, including trains, buses, ferries and light rail.

Naturally, using your GPS to see your location you can see when to get on and off transport and where to walk. Great for those times you are not sure which stop to get off the bus!!

It's not yet perfect as many users have found and interestingly I got very different results performing an identical search on my Android phone and iPhone but this is a fantastic start and I look forward to testing it out thoroughly over the coming months.
