Better transit planning than on the source site

It may not be a secret that Google Maps had incorporated transit into itself, but it has just been announced that the system for Calgary Transit has been added too.

This is big news, because based on my first few searches, this even beats the transit web site. Just open Google Maps, click the 'get directions' link, plug in where you're starting from and going to into 'A' and 'B', then change the 'By car' to 'By public transit'. Then hit the Get Directions button.

First it shows the next departure time and suggests alternate departure times. Then lists all the walking, bus routes and c-train routes, the total time.... It's pretty awesome.

Thanks to Ernest for the tip....
