Another tip of the hat to Google for doing their very best to get us where we want to go.
In this case, it’s via public transport.
Google Transit, buried over on the Google Labs page, aims to get pedestrians from one part of town to the other using only mass transportation – a noble concept indeed!
The beta program is currently only available in Burbank (CA), Orange County, San Diego, Tampa, Honolulu, Duluth, Reno, Eugene, Portland, Pittsburgh, Austin, Seattle, and the entire country of Japan.
To get an idea of how it works, I plugged in directions from Seattle Airport to my friend’s house in the suburbs. The results below, which actually include walking times, are pretty cool.
Keep it up Google!
