| About The Google Transit Trip Planner
|
The Google Transit trip planner is the next logical extension of Google Maps driving directions that many are already familiar with using. As customary, enter the specifics of where you want to go (origin and destination), but now you get to decide how to get there (by car, walking, or by public transit) and optionally when you'd like to leave or arrive (specify time-of-day and/or future date, otherwise next-available trips). Planned service for weekdays, weekends, and holidays will be accurately reflected in the trip plan by choosing the date of travel.
Google then uses all available public transportation schedules and information (provided by participating transit agencies) to provide up to three suggested trip plans with the most efficient step-by-step transit directions, which you can print and take with you, or access from your mobile phone while you are out and about. We recommend you check all of the suggested trip plans provided, as one may provide a trip that better meets your time, or your budget.

METRO strives to provide quality information through Google Transit, but cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. This is a new and experimental service that is still being refined both by Google and participating transit agencies. It is recommended that riders double-check all suggested trip plans from Google with METRO's published schedules, school-term calendar, and holiday calendar.
