If you like transit apps and detailed UX take a look at iPhone/android apps of www.citymapper.com

So far they only launched for NYC and London but they are truly amazing.

They are pretty much the only thing that makes London public transit bearable.

Their mission is: "to save Londoners from London!"

Disclaimer: I know the founders from London quite well.

Looks good. The only app I miss from my iPhone, after moving to Android, is the Transit app: http://thetransitapp.com/

I've been using the version for London since not long after its launch and I have to say that it is the best app of its type. The update notes on iOS are works of comedic art too. I've used the android version as well, which is also excellent.
