Google is using their incredible Google Maps interface to create a new way to plan public transit trips with Google Transit.

It’s still in beta right now (and only works for Portland, Oregon now) but will soon allow users to plan the best route, usoing public transportation, from point A to B.

The great thing is that if anyone can make public transit easier to use, it should be Google. No plans have been announced to have Google Space locations at transit terminals, but seems like a good idea to me!

More info, including if you work for a public system and want yours included, can be found in the FAQ section.
