KC Light Rail has news that Johnson County Transit has finally provided its data to Google for inclusion in Google Transit.  This means that Google Maps now includes transit directions in addition to driving directions.  Just put in two addresses, select the public transit option, and Google will show  you how to get there on the bus. It will even plot journeys that cross the state line and involve transfers between Metro and The Jo.  The only caveat for Johnson County is that the map does not yet show specific bus stops and the next buses calling at those stops.  Hopefully this extra bit of information is one the way.
