Apple is planning to finally bring transit directions to Maps with iOS 9, after originally hoping to ship the features with iOS 8, according to 9to5mac. Apple will be launching bus, subway, and train navigation as the main Maps upgrade with iOS 9.Sources said last year that the transit functionality for Maps includes larger icons for users to more quickly spot airports, subway stations, and train stations within the Maps app. In addition to the main functionality, there is also a trip planning feature for transit, and a new Transit view alongside the existing Standard, Hybrid, and Satellite/Flyover views.Apple Maps has lacked transit directions ever since its launched with iOS 6. Apple had hoped to ship the new Map features with iOS 8, but failed due to poor project management and other internal factors. The transit directions were actually included in internal iOS 8 betas last year, but never saw a public release; however, Apple has since then refined the data, added more cities, and developed a new push notification system to notify users when new cities gain support.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
