OK, I just tried zooming in to maximum magnification. It still doesn't 
show the bus /routes/, but it does at least mark the bus stops. 
Unfortunately, the information Google gives me about which buses stop 
where does not match the information physically printed on the bus 
stops. I wonder which one is actually correct...

(Hey, Google can only tell you what the bus company told them, right?)

Public transit information availability is dependent on location, looks 
like it's not in Milton Keynes.

I show the same result at Oxford - public transport not available at this 
location.
