Ann Arbor now has Google Transit

Filed under: Your commute options, busing, cool tools, news — Nancy Shore @ 8:55 am

Ann Arbor now joins the ranks great cities like Seattle, Austin and Portland with our very own Google Transit.

Google Transit is a Google Map enabled program that lets you find the best AATA bus route to take from one place to another.

I’ve tried it on a couple of different routes (my home to work, my work to Kensington Court Hotel over at Briarwood) and it seems to be working pretty well.  However, it’s always good to keep in mind that this is a computer program, so it might not always give you the best suggestions.  But it’s clear and easy to understand and goes a long way to helping new people get comfortable with the bus.  I’d love to know what you think.

To check out Ann Arbor’s Google Transit, go here: Google Transit Ann Arbor
