Apple job listing reveals work on public transit directions for Maps

An Apple job listing reveals that public transit directions are in the works for a future version of Apple Maps. The job listing, first spotted by MacRumors, specifically notes that it’s looking for an engineer to work on public transit routing for Apple Maps.

“As a member of the Transit Routing team, you will work on one of the most anticipated features of Apple Maps,” the job description reads. It’s not exaggerating the feature’s demand: when Apple Maps was first introduced, one of its most obvious shortcomings was that it didn’t include directions for buses, trains, subways, and other forms of public transit.
