More good stuff from our new friends at the Permanent Campaign Consulting blog. They report that according to the SubwayBlogger that bus ridership in Duluth, Minnesota has increased 12% since they put the online Google Trip Planner on their website. The transit planner not only shows the routes but the transfer points and schedule too. They also report that the Google Transit Trip Planner shows you businesses within a block or two of your stop. Very cool.
We agree that anything we can do to get more and better information in as many different formats that people will use is a good thing.
