    They’ve done it! The link to it is even on the Google Transit home page.

    Should do this

    Does this also mean that directions for transit would be available in Google Maps as it already is for US cities (as described at headway)?

    Which means submitting their data in Google Transit Feed format. Releasing the feed to the public is probably another item entirely: that way people could use the data in the apps they build, e.g. a “next bus by SMS” service, without having to scrape translink.bc.ca.
