MTA Introduces New Online Trip Planner
Why the MTA didn’t create something like this years ago baffles me, but the Maryland Transit Administration has finally got on board with the technological revolution.? In a partnership with Google Maps, the MTA has launched its new Online Trip Planner.? Finally, something that makes public transit perhaps a little easier.? It’s pretty simple, just type in where you are and where you want to go…the computer then tells you how to get there without a car, including how long you’ll have to walk before you get to the nearest bus stop or train station.?
? Check it out…it’s pretty neat, and you might find that a bus or train goes exactly where you need to go…or maybe not, but at least it’s fun to play around with.? Also, with $4 gas can you afford not to use this tool?? Follow the link below:

Yeah, the trip planner is a very useful tool. Instead of having to search individual public transportation options and not really be sure if you have it right, you can get a route right away that will work.
Didn’t realize some other cities have the same thing also using Google Maps. So before going to another city, you can use Google Maps to plan a trip around there using public transportation. Useful if you’re not too familiar with the area or even if you are and just won’t be driving to some locations due to parking or whatever else.
