Google Maps has been updated to include live departure times and service alerts. However it will only benefit those in Salt Lake City, New York City and Washington DC. The update covers mass transit and gives access to live departure times and live service alerts. The catch here, these two additions will not be available for all users. Basically, the departure times are for those in Salt Lake City and New York City and the service alerts will be for those in Washington DC.

A great addition if you travel and live in those areas. Lets hope Google Maps stays free.
