Whoever was speaking at the time (Forstall?) mentioned that they would showcase existing 3rd-party transit apps. Taking a look at the sketchy VTA, BART and CalTrain apps I've tried this is not an adequate replacement. Hopefully there'll be a way to access Google's maps through the web or a Google app.

You should check out Embark's transit apps http://letsembark.com/. I'm not in California so I'm not sure about their BART and CalTrain apps, but I use it in NYC and it's fantastic.

You can use Google Maps via Safari. I've used it before for bike directions as that was never supported on the Google Maps app on the iPhone.
