Hello Andrew,

Unfortunately, Google doesn't generally pre-announce upcoming features or content, so we can't provide a roadmap of future transit coverage. However, we are adding new transit systems on a weekly basis (did you notice the new Austrian coverage that we just added for Euro 2008 visitors?)

In general, there are no technical problems that would prevent most cities from being added--it comes down to whether the local agencies/ operators are interested in having their routes & schedules displayed on Google Maps.

Hi - I have read the stuff about 'Why isn't my city included' - ok, it takes time to get everything set-up with a particular public transit system.

I'm wondering if there exists anywhere some info about what's coming soon for Google Transit? I'm sure someone has already made plenty of enquiries about including, say, the Paris Metro and it's either not going to be possible or it will be implemented soon.

Does there exist a publically available list from Google showing 'Coming Soon':

E.g. June: Paris Metro, London Metro July: Berlin metro etc
