How cool is this? Just when I thought having Monterrey on Google Maps was fame itself... what about having my very own CTA stuff featured on Google?!
Starting now, the troubled, loved and hated Chicago Transit Authority has teamed up with the Googlenator to get a full travel itinerary ready for us; so this time it includes directions by driving there or taking public transit; available buses and train stations all over the place; a mini calculator telling you how much you'd spend via CTA or car (like either is good, damn your expensiveness); as well as train and buses schedules.
The CTA already had this Travel Planner thing, but when Google now offers all these extra goodies, it all seems sweeter than ever.
Of course, as sweet as it can get riding creepy buses and trains with Joey Homeless, Dean Weed Jones, or Mario-Maria Gutierrez.
Look ak their "I'm totally Googlemapping Chicago on a Mac" video.
Cute, isn't it?
Oh CTA! We have such a meet-my-parents / give-me-my-stuff-back love story, but this just adds up to its many many sexy advantages. Now if I could just get over the fact that right now we hate each other.

PS. The CTA website is ugly-baby ugly.
