Google Transit Trip Planner
You’ve probably already heard about this but google has launch at Transit Trip planner for the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. You can use it to find how to get anywhere in the portland area completely using public transportation thus leaving your car at home.
Here’s a quote from their website:
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!
Take the Google Transit Trip planner for a test drive and let me know what you think.
