Whether you're a resident of Cairns, or planning a visit to beautiful northern Queensland, getting around town just got easier with the launch of Transit information on Google Maps for the city. Using information from Sunbus and Transit Australia Group (TAG), you can easily see information like the nearest bus stop, timetables at different times of the week, and look up directions using only public transport options.
You could use the new service to visit the interestingly named Yorkeys Knob, at the first headland north of Cairns harbour, or to get to the Skyrail, which sounds like an incredible tourist experience. Don't forget you can also check out updated map and satellite imagery of the islands, reefs, cays and rocks of the Great Barrier Reef in Google Maps - another great tool for planning a trip to the winter-less north.
TAG are the first Queensland public transit agency to launch Google Transit, and they'll be kicking it off in Cairns before rolling it out to other towns like Townsville, Rockhampton and Magnetic Island. It's great to see such a tourism-focused region putting the latest technology in place to help visitors get around easily and safely via public transport - and while making it easy for residents to choose 'green' commuting options.
We're excited to see Google Transit come to more and more Australian cities, and look forward to working with other transit agencies to make that happen.
