Google Transit Pilot in Northern California

Reconnecting America posts a blog entry about the recent launch of Google Transit's pilot project in a multi-county rural area of Northern California. Discussed are the kinks in applying Google Transit to rural places where assumptions about transit and walking to transit may be misplaced. Also mentioned is the federal coordination mandate. The counties used in the pilot are relatively transit rich. "Eight public transit operators serve these counties, with four providing inter-county service."
