Unfortunately, Embark's applications don't do inter-city transit, and they only exist for a few large cities. Even with a 3rd party app installed, and completely ignoring the regression in UX, iOS 6 has a major regression in functionality. Try typing the following into Google maps: "Redondo Beach to UCSB" Then look at the public transit options. This is a completely plausible scenario, and look at how Google shines: 1) Seven different transit agencies are represented in the first four suggested routes: LA County Metro, LA City DOT, Culver City Bus, Amtrak, Metrolink and Santa Barbara Transit 2) Google has no trouble mixing and matching the agencies to find the best route (but gives the user the option of reducing transfers). 3) Each route option only requires a subset of those, usually three. 4) Google knows that UCSB means University of California Santa Barbara, and picks a reasonable location on campus 5) This journey works my iPhone 4, but not on an iPhone 5
