Just tried on my iPhone, pretty nice!

Really? I'm getting nothing on the iphone (does work in a browser). will lit the busses at a bus stop, but no expansion of times and no live data. How are you accessing the maps?

Looks like its rolling out on a stop by stop basis, and then by line. Some stops show you live results for one line, and not another.

Id give it a day.

A cursory look makes it appear that they've got the schedule information, but not the live data (at least on the one bus line I checked out). Am I reading it wrong?

To answer my own question, I see multiple references to the live data coming "today". Will continue to drink my coffee this morning. :)

It seems kind of confusing. I clicked on a couple of stops and got what claimed to be a "live departure time" for the #1 bus and then clicked on a few other stops (still for the #1 bus) and the live departures times didn't come up.

The inbound 66 stop nearest me has live data, but the outbound stop across the street does not.

Handy, but I'll probably still use MBTA Alerts more often than this. Having all bus and subway stops easily visible on Google Maps does make the Anystop MBTA app superfluous to requirements, though, so goodbye to that.

It's available on the Evo; that's a great addition.
