As posted on the Google LatLong blog, some nice enhancements have been made to Google Transit over the last few weeks, including coverage for:

• Buses and light rail in Dallas, Texas
• The Las Vegas Monorail
• Humboldt County, CA
• Thousand Oaks, CA
• Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)

As well as new transit stop icons in Google Maps for a bunch of cities in Germany:

• Augsburg
• Bielefeld
• Bochum
• Bunde
• Dresden
• Jena
• Karlsruhe
• Kassel
• Lubeck
• Mainz
• Rostock
• Trier

I’m rarely a transit user, but this tool must be very useful for those that rely on transit.  Full details in that LatLong post.
