How to get all transit stations in Google Maps Directions api?

I made a HTTP request to a Google Maps Directions which includes transit step. The transit step in the response only returns object with information about departure and arrival stops and a number of stops in between them (5).

<transit_details>
      <departure_stop>
        <name>Wien Mitte-Landstraße</name>
        <location>
          <lat>48.2060950</lat>
          <lng>16.3848860</lng>
        </location>
      </departure_stop>
      <arrival_stop>
        <name>Wien Hbf (Bahnsteige 1-2)</name>
        <location>
          <lat>48.1861220</lat>
          <lng>16.3755230</lng>
        </location> 
      </arrival_stop>
      <line>  
        <short_name>S 1</short_name>
        <vehicle>
          <name>Commuter train</name>
          <type>COMMUTER_TRAIN</type>
          <icon>//maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/transit/iw2/6/rail.png</icon>
        </vehicle>
        <agency>
          <name>ÖBB</name>
          <url>http://www.oebb.at/</url>
        </agency>
      </line>
      <num_stops>5</num_stops>
      <headsign>Mödling</headsign>
      <departure_time>
        <value>1439805780</value>
        <text>12:03pm</text>
        <time_zone>Europe/Berlin</time_zone>
      </departure_time>
      <arrival_time>
        <value>1439806200</value>
        <text>12:10pm</text>
        <time_zone>Europe/Berlin</time_zone>
      </arrival_time>
    </transit_details>

What I need are the details of all individual stops along the transit leg. Is there a way to acquire that kind of information?

It's not currently possible in the Google API to get that information. There's an issue under review to be added in the gmaps api bug tracker: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=7807

Be sure to click the star to show your support to add it.

For each waypoint in the request, the directions response includes an additional entry in the legs array to provide the corresponding details for that leg of the journey.
