Apple has agreed to acquire transit navigation app HopStop.com, according to a report in Bloomberg.AllThingsD has apparently received confirmation from an Apple spokesperson. I've reached out to both companies and will update if I hear back from either of them.HopStop offers walking, taxi, and bicycle directions, but is probably most useful when it comes to mass transportation. When Apple broke away from Google and launched its own mapping application for iOS 6, on top of all the other problems it had, it removed transit directions and instead directed users to download other apps including HopStop. (Indeed, it was through those recommendations that I became a regular HopStop user.) So acquiring the company could be a way to bring that information back into Maps.
