Jeremy - I have been using this feature on my pocket pc version of google apps for a few months now. The transportation feature was originally released for blackberry and Java MIDp apps. They made it available on the pocketpc app a month later and I assume they just brought it out for iphone and android. It is probably the one app I use everyday on my ATT Tilt. With the GPS or Cell Tower positioning feature it makes travel very easy. I have actually ditched my car for 99% of the trips I make (not an easy thing to do in Florida). The only drawback with the google transit app is that although it does mixed commuting with walking/bus schedules it does not seem to integrate rail and light rail. At least in south Florida it doesn't. Since this appears to work fine in San Francisco it could just be a database availability issue. The other nice feature of the app is the favorite locations bookmark tool and the web details available for the location searched.
