New feature in Google Maps promises to tell commuters how crowded buses and trains will be. But will riders care?
If you knew your regular, jam-packed commuter train is usually followed by another one with empty seats, would you leave home 15 minutes later?
It is a question that Google Maps will hope to help answer with a new rollout Thursday: a transit feature that predicts crowdedness levels across mass transit in more than 200 cities, about one-quarter of them in the U.S. The feature sweeps up large cities from Los Angeles to New York as well as smaller ones such as Champaign, Ill., and New Haven, Conn.
