Luckily, we 3G owners had a reliable way to track down the buses.

I used my iPhone religiously to get me from place to place and how to know when to stop, change, etc. My wife even text me from her silly little T-Mobile phone to ask me to route HER commute and tell her what buses she needed.

Things worked out great. The problem was that when the buses went on snow routes, Google didn't know any better. It seems they just use the standard routes and don't re-configure them for extenuating circumstances. And when the buses finally couldn't move and had to cancel a bunch of lines, Google had no idea what was going on.]]>Jan 25th 2009 2:09AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/24/google-maps-public-transportation-option-gets-tested-loved/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/24/google-maps-public-transportation-option-gets-tested-loved/Jan 25th 2009 2:58AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/24/google-maps-public-transportation-option-gets-tested-loved/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/24/google-maps-public-transportation-option-gets-tested-loved/Jan 25th 2009 3:56AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/24/google-maps-public-transportation-option-gets-tested-loved/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/01/24/google-maps-public-transportation-option-gets-tested-loved/Very useful.
