The other day, I happened to notice that goolge maps now has transit maps and times for Calgary. So you think, big deal right?

Well if you have ever had to go through the maze that is the Calgary Transit website to try and find what your next bus time is, I guarantee you’d be exstatic. Trying to find out what your next bus time is like finding a needle in a haystack. Well ok, it’s a little better then that, but if you ever went to their old site, let just say it was difficult.

Now that Google includes transit maps and times, I can look on a map to where my bus stop actually is, and what time it’s going to come next. See the little dots on the map in the blue lines. Those are bus stops. If I click on those little dots, I can find out what buses stop there and when they’re coming next.

How simple is that? Calgary Transit..take notice.

So next time, you find yourself asking when the next bus is actually going to come, try google maps. You might actually be surprised!
