Include bus route connections
It would be awesome if the the bus route numbers that are accessible at each station were listed when you click on the station. Also, you should be able to enter in a bus route number and see all of the metro stops that you can catch it at. Would be VERY helpful! As a piggyback idea, you could also include a "directions" button from the map that would kick a user out of the app to Google Maps. They have bus route info there. (At least they do for Beijing.)

Show times of next train/ arrival time at each stop
Time at each stop on the journey based on the device's current time, linked to the schedule of the next departing train... If it's 0856 on the device, and the next train is at 859, timings are based off that...

Agree this would be a useful feature. However the problem is that most metro system in Asia do not have this information available:

- There is no API providing live train departure times (for example, like this in London http://www.tfl.gov.uk/businessandpartners/syndication/16493.aspx#17615 )
