Also, Google has better integration with smart phones (in particular those on the Android platform). So you could be standing somewhere in the city, pull out your phone, click here you want to go and get transit directions (with a map).

@jcm: Because the data isn't really worth anything. And even if it was it's such a pittance it's not even worth talking about. It's also in WMATA's interest to make this information as accessible as possible to encourage ridership. Also, if Google paid here, they would set a bad presence for themselves paying for transit data and might have to pay for it elsewhere. So if WMATA made Google pay, then Google simply wouldn't do it.
