Google has just made it a little easier to get around town using public transportation. Transit Layer has launched on Google Maps in more than 50 cities around the world.

The Transit Layer is a part of Google Transit. The main Google Transit product aims to provide full schedule information and routing. The goal of Transit Layer is to overlay lines visually on Google Maps.
