Google Tests Out Google Transit Trip Planner

by admin on December 12th, 2005

Google has launched yet another beta project–Google Transit. It’s only available for Portland, Oregan at the moment, but it’s a pretty nifty expression of transit routes across the city. It even provides the cost for a trip (and comparative costs for driving), and associated walking on either end of the route. Here’s an example, and here’s the official spiel:

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!

Apparently Google has plans to roll it out nationwide.
