You can get detailed transit directions to your destination, including departure times, connection information, and fares.
Fares are listed for suggested routes in some countries and regions. By default, they reflect the cost with a transit card, though you can see the cash fare instead. You can also plan for a future departure or arrival time, and Siri can give you transit directions, too.
