- Google Transit: How (and Why) the Search Giant is Remapping Public Transportation
- by Wade Roush, Xconomy, 21 February 2012. "... This revolution, as with almost everything the company does, is proceeding at Internet scale.

- Sydney suffers late running of transport card
- by Jacob Saulwick. The Age, June 4, 2011. "It is still a long way off, but the troubled Tcard is already becoming obsolete, writes Jacob Saulwick. By the time Sydney gets its public transport ticketing system, some major world cities will have moved on to systems that do not need tickets. London plans to scrap its Oyster card - which Sydney's Tcard is being modelled on - by the end of next year for a system that allows commuters to pay for journeys by swiping debit or credit cards..."

- A new look for Google Transit maps
- Posted by Jonah Jones, User Experience Designer, Google Maps. Google Lat Long Blog, Friday, April 2, 2010. "At the beginning of last year, the Google Maps team launched the Transit Layer, showing the layout of public transportation networks on top of the map in over 50 cities worldwide.

We've now released a significant redesign of our transit maps that better highlights the information transit riders are most interested in seeing..."
