I was checking out some local websites and blogs today and stumbled across a guy who has created his own site that will help you plan your city transit route. I had read recently that Google is doing something like this but the closest city to us offering the service is Seattle and not going to do me much good.  The site is in testing phase at this point but it seems pretty spiffy.

Given that I ride the bus to work everyday I was curious what route I would be given so, I went to his site, entered my info and waited for the results.  I was given a route that would include an extra bus transfer and send me through the “less scenic” part of town but was impressed that the ride time was the same. I’m not sure how this program works (I’m really not “techie” at all) but the author asks for feedback so I offered up my typical route that just happens to be a very lovely drive past the river.

If you’re curious about a transit trip planner in your area check out Google transit to start.
