Get on the Bus

Along time ago while browsing Google Labs, I found Google Transit. Google Transit was a inlay for Google Maps that allowed you to see bus routes for a certain area. Of course, the Twin Ports area wasn't on there, as it was mostly major cities. I went ahead and suggested Duluth anyway, fully expecting that my suggestion would be brushed over with little more than barely any consideration. This was at least a year ago.

Well, today I happened to check my email and saw a link to this: Duluth, MN Google Transit. Google actually incorporated the DTA routes into Google Transit! You can now plan a trip on Google using the DTA. Not entirely useful for many people, but still pretty cool. And the awesome part is our little area seemed to beat the rest of the state of MN, including the Twin Cities. Go us!

I guess Google and the DTA had to work pretty close together to get this thing up and running, so show a little love and if you use the DTA, plan your route on Google (or just mess around with it).

That is awesome. You are awesome.

Does anyone else find it strange that so many(all?) DAT
employees drive to work? They
even drive cars to switch drivers. It always raises an eyebrow with me if an outfit's
employees don't use the product it produces.

I will agree that Google transit is awesome.
