Locating all known public transport locations via Google Maps APIs

Hi all,

I see that if you manually browse a city via Google maps you'll often
see a listing of registered public transport stops (bus/train/metro
etc.) and I'm aware of the existence of Google transit for certain
public services around the world. So the data is hosted but how can I
obtain subsets of it via the maps APIs. For example how can I query
for a list of all bus stops in a city, or all tram stations in a city,
(along with respective latlng, names, addresses, etc) via the Google
maps API's. Can I use the Geocoding API and search on 'type=transport
station' rather than 'address=' for example, or can I use the places
API etc? Any advice greatly appreciated.
