OT - Google Maps: Interesting Feature

Posted On September 25, 2008 7:18 PM By Phil in Other

Don't know if this is new or not, or maybe new to us here in New Jersey, but as I was trying to find directions to 360|Flex Camp - New Jersey using Google Maps, I noticed a "Also Available: Public Transit" link. After clicking on it, I got a combination of bus/rail/light-rail routes to take as well as the option on changing arrival time/day. Pretty neat stuff. I do think I will be doing a little NJ Transit hopscotch tomorrow, especially since the whether could turn a 2 hour drive into double or more. Anyways, it's a pretty nice feature to have to show some alternative ways to get to a destination instead of driving.

Nathan Mische's Gravatar Hey Phil, you will have to let me know how this 360|Flex Camp is. I was hoping to go but have other obligations this weekend.

Mark's Gravatar Yeah... just hit up http://www.google.com/transit to get the main public transportation site. I'm pretty sure they've been testing this for a while, but I know that they just added NYC (partnership with MTA) officially this week. I'm guessing the NJTransit stuff is fairly new as well. Very nice though.

Phil Duba's Gravatar @Mark: I had heard about MTA, but thought it was in Beta, like everything at Google, ;). Just knowing NJT, I"m shocked they were so quick to join in!
