Usually the website of the public transport provider will mention it somewhere. There's no centralized database of all companies. It's not restricted to large expensive things at all, many local buses and trams have it. Most local buses in Scotland seem to have it now - Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee. It's fairly trivial to implement for the bus companies as modern buses already have a mobile connection built in for fleet management and maintenance purposes.

Yeah, that's practical... Have you ever tried dangling a device off a USB cable of your phone while out on the move? It's annoying enough just having a charger cable and that's not considering certain phones such as mine require the cover opened thus breaking it's weatherpoofing in order to access the USB port.
I had actually considered a wireless portable drive recently but that's yet another device to forget to charge and/or bring with you.
And it seems ironic all the extra devices you have to carry and attach to your phone these days just to make the phone itself 0.5mm thinner... After all there was a survey recently where something like 80% of people wanted a
bigger phone with a larger battery than these perpetually thinner devices everyone keeps coming out with.
