other cities can find their directions via public trans. LA cannot (yet). we need a push for this.

This looks so much better than the one on metro.net. I can't wait until they do if for LA.

wow.. NICE! I didn't really like the one they had on Metro.net. I would type in something, even though if it was 1 letter off, nothing would show. And granted, some street names are hard to spell.

Thing is, Metro has to do the work itself.

If you read the manual for Google Transit, it says that the agencies must code in every stop for every line, and provide Google with a pass through their firewalls so the search engine can automatically pick up schedules when they change.

The agencies that are on there took the initiative to code in their lines.
