News Google Transit includes MARTA now
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, May 28, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Google Transit, the online Goliath's maps-merged-with-mobility program, now includes MARTA routes. Now if they'd step on it and start videotaping every inch of our sprawling region and integrating it into maps, we'd truly show people what's real about city life. Like observing drug deals. And flashers. Or people falling off bicycles. Step on it, oi!
Citizens for Progressive Transit has its own homegrown online transit tool, too, and it's a little easier on the eyes than Google's. The A-TRAIN Trip Planner tells you how to get to the nearest bus stop or rail station, how long it'll take you, what route to take, and even let you enter in how fast you want to walk or bike to get there.
(Thanks to the folks at the CfPT message board for catching this.)
