Apple Maps data update: Added Austrian bus route query

Apple appears to have updated its Maps coverage to include bus routes in Austria, with a focus on public transport routes in and around the capital Vienna.

Apple Maps users in the country can now select public transit routes, including U-Bahn and S-Bahn train routes, when getting directions between two locations.

Foreign media pointed out that the maps of other Austrian cities have also been expanded, although some areas still lack complete coverage. For example, regional trains have been integrated into Innsbruck's bus routes, but other public transportation modes in the area are still missing.

Transit directions were first added to Apple Maps in 2015 with the release of iOS 9. Maps initially only offered transit information in a handful of cities, but over the past five years Apple has been working to expand the feature to other areas.

Transit routes are now available in dozens of cities and countries around the world.
