Transit is arguably one of the best apps for making your public transportation experience less hectic, and the app has support for most of the world's largest metropolitan areas. There's really no reason not to have this app if you ever need to ride a train or catch the bus. But recently, Transit received a huge update that not only brings its user interface design up to date, but adds a bulk of new features as well.

The update features an "all Routes mode," which lets users explore route and stops in their region, train and subway stations listed in auto-complete while searching, the ability to "search locations using stop codes," an improved offline mode, and more. Of course on top of all these goodies the newly updated app features a beautiful newly designed interface to flatten it up and make it more iOS 7-y.

You can get Transit on the App Store for free.

The Voxel Agent's Train Conductor 2: USA has launched for all iDevices, big and small. The sequel to the hit, Train Conductor, steps out of the developers home country of Australia, and into some of the most famous train stops in the US, including the Grand Canyon, Nashville, Las Vegas and New York City.

"Far from a simulation, TC2 is all about quick strategic decisions and superior hand-eye coordination as players guide locomotives across the horizontal tracks while avoiding head-on collisions with other trains. Several types are available: steam trains, electric subway trains, monorails, ghost trains and even “skull trains.”"

Also included in the app is a survival mode, something that we found was lacking in the first edition, improved menu art, a simplified HUD (heads-up display), new music, new train models, a different look for stopped trains and varied environmental and weather effects.

If line drawing/traffic management games are your cup o' tea, you can pick up Train Conductor 2: USA in the App Store today for only $0.99.
