Google Transit now includes Kansas City
The popular Google Transit service now includes Kansas City in the list of cities where you can get door-to-door directions for public transit. Just put in your starting and ending address, and the service tells which bus to catch and when/where to catch it. This new partnership with Google and the KCATA covers Metro bus routes in KCMO, KCK, and the Missouri suburbs. If you would like to see Johnson County’s bus service join the system, then contact The Jo and ask them.
The new service officially debuts on Tuesday, Earth Day, with an event at the offices of the Downtown Council. While the regular Google Maps does not yet have the transit option available, you can still try it now going directly the Google Transit web site: www.google.com/transit
