Apple Maps Transit Data for Australia Extends to Melbourne, Victoria

by

Apple Maps has recently been updated with new transit data for Melbourne, Victoria, allowing users to navigate the city with the addition of public train, tram, and bus networks.

Before the update, Sydney, and New South Wales as a whole, were the only areas in Australia with Transit information available.

Transit directions became a helpful feature with the introduction of iOS 9, and has since expanded to be supported in 16 cities around the world.

Including Sydney, Transit directions can be found in Seattle, Austin, Baltimore, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, Toronto, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. There are also a few dozen cities in China that include Transit directions in Apple Maps.

(Thanks, Mike!)

Be nice if they could add Brisbane too...
Yes. Brisbane next please.

In the meantime, Embark is excellent. Superior to Citymapper even.

Tried to demo my new Apple Watch to my girlfriend. Asked for directions to somewhere with Siri was all great, until she tapped "public transport", and I had to explain to her it wasn't available in our country, at all. One less Apple watch sold to the average consumer.
