Google Transit Trip Planner beta

Google Transit trip planner imageGoogle announced Google Transit, a new service that provides the Public Transportation Routes, Schedule and other related information.

Google could encourage more and more people to use the public transportation system by comparing the cost of your trip using Public Transportation with the cost of driving the same route.

Do you live in or near a city? Want to go someplace—to the airport, to dinner, to work every day—and not worry about the hassles and expense of driving and parking? Google Transit Trip Planner enables you to enter the specifics of your trip—where you're starting, where you're ending up, what time of day you'd like to leave and/or arrive—then uses all available public transportation schedules and information to plot out the most efficient possible step-by-step itinerary. You can even compare the cost of your trip with the cost of driving the same route!

At the moment we're only offering this service for the Portland, Oregon metro area, but we plan to expand to cities throughout the United States and around the world.
