According to 9to5Mac, which has been spot on with leaks in the past, Toronto is to be the only Canadian city with transit directions in iOS 9’s redesigned Maps app.
When Apple Maps debuted, it was considered one of the least usable Apple products ever created, but has slowly improved with more accurate topography and more nuanced navigation directions. One of the lasting omissions, however, was transit directions, which helps companies like Citymapper, Moovit and Montreal’s Transit App to pick up the slack.
In iOS 9, Apple is expected to launch its own comprehensive transit map solution, beginning with a few cities like San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Berlin and, of course, Toronto. Canada’s largest city may not have the most complex of transit systems, but it is sprawling and disorganized, so aiding those who wouldn’t otherwise turn to third-party apps will certainly help.
