Link directly to Google Maps transit directions mobile site

If you visit maps.google.com on a mobile device, then press 'Menu', 'Get Directions', and select the 'transit' option, you are taken to a page where you can enter two locations and a date/time, and get directions on public transit. However, the URL is still maps.google.com.

Is there any way to link directly to this page so that I can load it in a UIWebView in my iOS app? Would 'clicking' the buttons in Javascript be 开发者_运维知识库(the only/a good) solution?

Try: http://www.google.com/transit

Even clicking the buttons in javascript doesn't seem to be working. The Google Maps code is a little strange- the event listeners aren't assigned directly and I can't get a .click() to work. So what I'll do is have the user enter the two locations in boxes in the app, then load something like http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Coover+Hall&daddr=lied+rec+center in the UIWebView, except I'll add some more specific location information before building the URL, since this is a city-specific app. Not a perfect solution but it gets the job done.

You could create a URL that links to the transit directions with the "dirflg=r" paramater.
