After Apple Maps got off to a rocky start, it is continuing its quest to become the go-to maps service on mobile by adding transit information for yet another city — meaning that the app will provide detailed information on transportation options ranging from buses to railway lines.
The latest city to get the Transit treatment? Sacramento, CA.

Sacramento, California brings the total number of cities supported by Transit directions to 20. Other cities include Austin, Baltimore, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, New South Wales, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Seattle, Sydney, Toronto, and Washington, DC.
Since the start of April, Apple Maps has been adding transit data for one new city each week. Let’s hope the company sticks to its self-imposed release schedule for the foreseeable future!
