The Transit Navigation android app is a welcome addition, but I wish these types of android apps would work without constant need for data connection (i.e. would cache results and work offline once route downloaded) as nothing is worse than taking an underground train and losing all route information due to loss of signal. On a side-note "Pubtran London" is another good (and free) android app for London travel which also takes into account route/line closures and can also find National Rail train times/route info (for entire UK) from within same tool.

Google Maps has an experimental feature for downloading map information. I don't think it currently includes transit yet but I'm sure it will in the future.

For cities that provide the information to Google, Maps includes realtime delays and closures.

Android-wise, I've been using Pubtran London. The new Transit Navigation feature in Google Maps for Android, goes a long way to making Pubtran redundant. Will be interesting to see how the Pubtran author raises his game in response.
