New Android Feature Wakes You Up For Your Bus Or Train Stop

Android Police just discovered a cool new Google Now feature: when you’re taking public transportation, you can set an alarm to make sure you don’t sleep through your stop. No more waking up stranded at the end of the line!

Apparently, you just open Google Now while you’re on the train or bus, and it will offer to activate an alarm when you get near a saved location, like your home or work. Sounds handy — at least if Google Now includes transit info for your town.
