Google Transit appears to have expanded this morning to include Hampton Roads Transit (HRT).
HRT in SouthEastern VA currently serves 1.2 million people within its 369 square mile service area. Its service area consists of eight cities: Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, the town of Smithfield and the city of Williamsburg (Colonial Williamsburg). There have been proposals for light rail in the past.

What’s cool, is that HRT was suggested in this post back in Feb 2006. Nice to see a suggestion go to fruition. In January of 2007, Google began discussions with HRT, and shortly thereafter, HRT began using GPS systems to monitor bus positions.
