A couple of months ago, we wrote about Apple’s acquisition of Hopstop – an app that gives pretty darn good public transit directions.

On my commute today, I kept getting an error message from the app, and I thought it was just a bug until I had this message pop up where my directions are meant to be:

My guess is Apple is merging Hopstop’s services into iOS Maps and no, they don’t want Android users in on it. Doing so would give Android users a one up over iPhone users who already use Google Maps instead of the one that comes pre-installed.

Anyone else using Hopstop on Android? What do you guys think?
