Google Maps for Brighton UK show a little picture of a bus at the location of each bus stop. Clicking on the picture shows the next few departure times from that stop, with links to further information.

The only thing which spoils it is if you click the link that pops up saying "Get Directions From Here" it gives you driving directions, not public transport directions.

Yeah I noticed this last week when I was showing someone where I lived.

I think if they're going to mark bus stops they should let you use public transport as an option.

Mrrix32: It's easier to get bus stop locations (and timetables) than to get the full routes. Hopefully we'll see more public transport on maps though. AFAIK they supply a format that would let any public transport authority have their routes appear in Transit...
