Perhaps I should be more specific. And give an example.

In Lund Sweden there is a street address named "Lund Mårtenstorget",
nearby that street address is a bus station named "Lund
Mårtenstorget". Both the street, and the bus station share the same
name.

If I go to http://maps.google.se/ and enter the search phrase "Lund
Mårtenstorget", it will find the street address as the first option.
If I instead enter the search phrase "category:transit Lund
Mårtenstorget" then it will limit the search results to the transit
stations only.

Can I make the geocoding service over HTTP only return the transit
stations as well? The service accessible from the 
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?
that is.
