If you live in NYC, hold off. The integration between apple maps and third-party transit apps is anything but seamless. The new Apple map doesn't show the names of the train lines so you can't pan around the map and see "oh, there's the nearest 4/5 stop". Launching a transit app takes too many taps and you have to exit and relaunch maps to get back to it - no longer is it convenient to switch between views of "how long would this take via transit" and "how long would this take in a cab".
On the flip side, there's one GOOD feature in nyc rarely remarked on: Having switched to vector-based maps means you can now pretty reliably pan and zoom the map even when you have no signal because you're in the subway.
