The London Bus iPhone application, which promises to tell you where your nearest bus or tube stop is, has been updated to add augmented reality overlays for the iPhone 3GS.

When you turn it on, you can wave the camera around and it'll overlay the direction of any nearby tube and bus stations that are less than 1km away. There's also the option to view "points of interest", like restaurants.

The London Bus application is available now on the App Store. It costs 59p. If you're not keen on that one, then there's a whole host of other augmented reality transport options too, just one of which is linked below.
