I'm not a lawyer, but it feels like an abuse of monopoly power (Antitrust laws)

Google sounds like they are using their control of the Android store to prevent an application being published that competes with their Google Maps Mobile App, which also offers similar public transport tracking and time-table information

I think you'd need to show some evidence that public transport apps (or apps competing with Google's, in general) are particularly targeted.
