Now that they've exposed the lat_lng arrays of the route steps polylines, creating a complete custom polyline for the route is easy.
A simple way is to just concat the arrays for each step (trips [i].routes[j].steps[k].lat_lngs), then set a path using this array. I'm looping through the steps to get distance, duration, etc. anyway.
