Showing ETA would be more useful (i.e., will I make my flight, or should I get on the cell to make contingencies now?) A map could be useful for going _from_ the airport in order to pick the bus stop closest to one’s ultimate destination (e.g., hotel). In addition to showing more landmarks that can be correlated with maps carried by the user, the map should probably be plan view rather than perspective view so that the user can better see the relative distances of stops to one’s destination. Also, maybe north-up would be a better orientation than track up so that users can recognize the region of the city better against their own maps or knowledge (although it might make it harder for the user to know where to turn to reach the destination after disembarking).

Most people simply need the map, plus some street names and perhaps famous tourist landmarks. McDonalds etc could sponsor highlighted positions of their restaurants.
