It took MapQuest until 2026 to add public transit directions

MapQuest now offers public transit directions in its iOS and Android apps, covering nearly 2,000 cities in 70 countries. The feature provides door-to-door trip planning with buses, trains, trams, and walking, real-time departure and delay data for over 350 cities, station entrance details, and multiple route options. The update follows a surge in users after the company declined to rename Lake Ontario, prompting a renewed focus on transit navigation.
