Google's ever-expanding Transit Trip Planner has added five more cities to its "how-to-get-from-point-A-to-point-B-most-quickly" service.

Despite being unable to test this for real (as I don't live in Portland, Eugene, Honolulu, Pittsburgh, Seattle or Tampa) in theory it seems like the caring commuter's dream.

Friend and CPC member Joanna shared with us a few weeks ago her "Day Without a Car" journey:

now I buy gas half as often as I used to, which makes me and my wallet feel good.

With Google Lab's desired usefulness and attention to time-spent, we Nashvillians are eager for them to expand into our city, as our public transportation options are few and far between.

Additionally, in some cities Google will tell you which is cheaper, public transportation, or your '87 Camry, and help you make informed decisions that affect your ecological footprint.
