Several users are reporting seeing transit directions going live for Sydney, Australia in Apple Maps today, adding another major city for the the feature launched as part of iOS 9. Not all users are seeing transit routes for Sydney yet, but support is clearly rolling out at the moment for light rail, commuter rail, buses, and ferry service.

Apple added both Boston and Sydney to its list of supported cities for transit directions early this month, but quickly updated the listing to note coverage would be going live later in the month. Transit information for Boston went live last week alongside support for a number of Amtrak routes in the northeastern United States and nearby areas.

(Thanks, DrHampton!)

Meanwhile Google Maps has realtime public transport information for the entire country here (the Netherlands). All modes included: train, metro (subway), tram, bus, ferries.

With Apple adding only a handful of cities per month and not even all modes it's going to take them a long, long time to catch up.

There are no trains in the U.K. yet making it pointless for any longer journeys or even most commuters. 3 buses and a tube to do 1 overland train.

As they say down under "It's a good day mate"

Maybe I should try Apple maps again, I haven't opened it since 2013.

From Wynyard it is possible to only take trains to Gosford by changing trains at Central.
