I use Gmaps all the time, but I had no idea that the transit function even existed. I agree that it has the potential to revolutionize public transportation. This summer my wife and I struggled quite a bit to figure out the bus network in Victoria, B.C. for just a half hour trip. The only booklet we found was just an addendum, and everyone we asked seem to tell us to take a different line. Finally, we just found a bus, got on, and asked the driver where to go. He was fortunately very patient with us. It was pretty convoluted, but we made it there eventually. If I only knew of Google Transit! Missoula isn't available yet. Do you know how to get this set up?
