That's pretty neat. Although surprising that Toronto wasn't first! I had no idea Hamilton was included now! That’s pretty neat. Although surprising that Toronto wasn’t first!

I didn't even realize Google was so far ahead until I was in Ottawa recently and googled something, and...wait a minute? Transit?? It was awesome, especially since I'm not familiar with Ottawa transit and streets (and directions in general) yet. I don't understand why it could possibly take Toronto so long to get on this. And seriously, why bother paying to create their own trip planning thingo (which must be expensive) when they can just partner with Google and have them do the bulk of the work? I have no faith that a planner on the TTC website would do me any good. Plus, Google (as you know) allows for so much MORE. I can google my tranist route, see if there's a Starbucks near the stop, read reviews and get links, etc etc.....etc. So, yay TTC for refusing to get with the 21st century. Good for you for writing.
