Apple Maps Introduces Transit Data for Denver, Colorado

by

Apple Maps has been updated with comprehensive Transit information for the city of Denver, Colorado, enabling iPhone users in the area to navigate using public transportation, including buses, subways, and commuter rails.

Denver Transit
Transit routing was introduced in iOS 9 with support for a limited number of cities, but Apple has since expanded its public transportation coverage for over 20 cities around the world and 30 cities in China.

Apart from Denver, Transit directions are available in Apple Maps for Austin, Sydney, Baltimore, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Toronto, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.

Ahead of the 2016 Summer Olympics, Apple has also added Transit support for cities including Montreal, Portland, Seattle, Rio de Janeiro, and the state of New South Wales.

Pssst...we don't have subways here in the Mile High City. Quit copying and pasting from your templates and do some research (which is usually required in journalism...even if it's a tech blog).

After watching a few Maps videos from this year's WWDC, it's apparent that Apple cares more about just providing transit data, they're providing an experience (as cliché as that sounds).

While it's not an excuse, it explains the slow rollout. There's A LOT more involved than just feeding some data and showing times/routes.

I highly recommend the watch: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/241/

After understanding what really goes into transit directions on iOS, you kind of have a better understanding of what's truly involved.

New South Wales is a state, not a city.

Interesting China gets more coverage than the rest of the world.
