"Credit to Darren Eden of the Personal Telco Project for calling our attention to a special partnership between Tri-Met and Google. Now you can Google for how to take Trimet to anywhere in town and get a map of all the connections integrated with the departure times. Too cool.

"We chose to launch with the Portland metro area for a couple of reasons. Tri-Met, Portland's transit authority, is a technological leader in public transportation. The team at Tri-Met is a group of tremendously passionate people dedicated to serving their community. And Tri-Met has a wealth of data readily available that they were eager to share with us for this project. This combination of great people and great data made Tri-Met the ideal partner." --Google

I just gotta say congrats Tri-Met and Portland 'cause http://google.com/transit is pretty darn neat."
