Several cities seem to have services like the CTA Bus Tracker. Very useful. San Francisco has NextMUNI (http://nextmuni.com), Minneapolis has NexTrip (http://nextrip.metc.state.mn.us/NextripFull.aspx).

Very nice. Services like this should be considered a basic human right :)

Agreed. Also just remembered that Google Maps has public transit route-finding in major cities. I'm not sure if this is based on scheduled times or actual times (as reported by services like NextMUNI), but it's a fantastic service.
