[Google Maps API v2] NYC Bus Stop Finder is a must

In NYC (and other cities), sometimes I have to take a bus I have never taken before. Where I am, there are bus hubs with tens of buses spread over several blocks. And while Google has bus routes shown when you do transit directions, there is no ability to search for a specific bus. Say I needed to take the 10 bus, but didn't know where it is, having the ability to search for a specific bus is a must. The NY MTA recently sold off their Long Island bus routes to a private company, and their website has this functionality:  http://www.nicebus.com/Maps_and_Schedules/Interactive_System_Map/index.html

This is exactly (or something VERY similar) what Google Maps needs to make it easier to find buses when you don't know where the stop is! Thanks!
