When it appeared that Apple had taken a break from continuing to add information about public transportation to its mapping service, the Cupertino-based company got the machine back on track last week and began to announce this availability in new regions.

Since last week, Arkansas already offers information on public transportation. Since yesterday, this information is also available in West Virginia, allowing all users to move around the city without having to use your own, private vehicles, Uber ...

The municipalities that are in West Virginia and that can already enjoy public transportation information are Charleston, Fairmont and Morgantown. In Charleston, Apple Maps information integrates bus service to Kanawha Vally and TriRiver Trans, while in Fairmont, county bus information is provided. In Morgantown, Apple Maps offers us the information of the Mountain line, Buckwheat Express and Morgantown Personal Rapid, the latter being a streetcar system connecting all three West Virginia University campuses.

Like other transport tools, Apple Maps offers us not only the routes of trains, buses, ferries and other public transport systems, but also shows us the schedules of each of them. This information was released first in China and the United States, to later expand to the United Kingdom and Japan. Over the past year, this service has been extended to various cities such as Paris, Madrid, Singapore ...

In order to create this public transport information system, the Cupertino-based company, has relied on the purchase of companies such as HopStop and Embark, to subsequently personally update this service, a service that is increasingly used by many millions of users on a daily basis.
