As a digression: I wonder if the fact that Apple is located in Palo Alto has anything to do with the lack of support for public transportation in Maps? Typically the south bay has a significantly less emphasis on public transport (excepting Caltrain and VTA) when compared to San Francisco. It would certainly be interesting to compare UX experiences of apple devs/testers who commute from SF to Palo Alto vs those who lived close by.
- microtherion 14y agoNot Palo Alto, Cupertino, and you might be surprised at how many employees commute by means other than their own cars, but yes, I've wondered myself whether transit directions wouldn't have a had a much higher priority if Apple HQ were located in, say, NYC.
