Google Maps now includes Delijn!

Question

Just noticed that Google Maps ( http://maps.google.com ) now inlcudes Delijn as well as STIB in its transit directions! Great news for traveling in Brussels (or Flanders, of course) as the user interface is much better than the alternative. This is new in the past day or three and Delijn isn't yet officially listed as a covered transit agency ( https://maps.google.com/intl/en/landing/transit/text.html#eu ). I wonder what the prospects for adding SNCB and TEC are? SNCB would seem to be easier as the stations and lines are already in Google, you'd just need to add the schedule. TEC stops don't even show up.

The most comprehensive alternative is on the SNCB website ( http://hari.b-rail.be/HAFAS/bin/query.exe/en ) which includes all four agencies (STIB, Delijn, SNCB, TEC), but is severely lacking in the user-interface department. Useful for inter-city travel, but Google is better intra-city in Brussels and Flanders. Their iPhone app is quite good...

That is all.

Thanks for the heads up - that's useful for my kids!
