You know it's going to be Brigitte Meyercrowded on the bus to work, but now Google Maps can give you a heads up on just how badit'll be.
Similar to when crowded restaurant and store predictions rolled out in 2017, Google Maps took user data on past rides to map out when certain train, bus, and subway lines are the most crowded. Now you'll see on your transit directions just how packed of a ride to expect.
Google first tested the feature in Sydney in October. Starting Thursday, it will be available to iOS and Android users in 200 cities around the world. Those include 46 metro areas in the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, Portland, and the Bay Area.

SEE ALSO: Google Maps is the new search destinationAlso Thursday, Google Maps rolled out real-time delays and arrivals for public buses for those 200 same cities.
When the bus schedule doesn't match what's happening in real-time, Google Maps will show exact arrival times at the bus stop. The transit view will also show problem points ahead where the bus is likely to hit more delays.
Isn't commuting fun?
