Video: Nokia Transport with detailed line view and multiple tiles
Nokia’s uploaded a video showing Nokia Transport, an app that helps with public transport, on the Nokia Lumia 900. Nokia transit factors in walking times to stations as well as giving directions to those stations, and apparently some more as it guides to your final destination.
They’ve got someone called Josh who lives in New York to demo it. I don’t think he’s Nokia staff.
Nnokia Transport is like having thousands of schedules and timetables in your pocket: see upcoming departure times, find the closest stations, and get directions from your stop to the door of your destination. Nokia Transport is an intuitive, flexible adventure companion with extended global coverage. Read more at http://conversations.nokia.com/?p=86986

Will any of the new developments in the maps come to Symbian devices like the 808?
Some how Nokia refuses to update their softwares for the 808
The 808 doesnt have a lot of softwares working for them – Wellness Diary, Drop some of the softwares in the Store
As a finn i must say transport is good for its purpose.
But: When i moved about 30 min (with car) outside of Helsinki city it does not help me anymore
It gives me directions like walk 10-15km to nearest helsinki local bus station. I hope they will expand the program more than just cities.
Nokia Transport is unfortunately a useless app for most people. It often only works in bigger cities (and even not many of them). There are much better apps out there, at least for Nokia N9.
What’s a better alternative to Nokia Transport for the N9?
I was disappointed with how limited NT was on my N9, for my country/city.
Bizarrely (well perhaps not) most of the cities they’ve focused on were/are the 1st Lumia countries/cities.
I asked them about that, I can’t recall their detailed explanation, but apparently it wasn’t quite as simple as that.
Which is really bizarre. You think they’d be able to pull on MS’ data too given that they’ll be merging their data together soon.

TY!
It is a good app, but here in the small town I live in Sweden it’s useless.
Southern Sweden? They are planning to add Skånetrafiken to Nokia Transport for the N9.
Managed to get it on my Malaysian Lumia 800. Too bad Kuala Lumpur (not living there, by the way) isn’t supported yet, though I won’t be holding my breath due to my first hand experience of how bad the public transportation there is. Buses and trains don’t come on time, etc. you know the drill. I’d bet that anyone compiling data of the public transportation there for NT will go nuts within a few days. :p
