Will Carpenter is using the Web to cut out fuel consumption altogether. Google has teamed up with public transit authorities all over the country to provide directions for using public transit to get from point A to point B. Mr. Carpenter has been using the bus to get around on weekends since he discovered Google Transit was available for Milwaukee, his hometown. "Prior to that, I'd never used the bus. I didn't want to take the time to figure it out," he says.

He calculates he saves around $15 every weekend by taking the bus instead of driving or taking a cab.

Unfortunately, JTA is not among the agencies included in the service at this point.  In fact, so far Tampa is the only city in Florida covered.

JTA should definitely sign up for this.

Note to JTA - send an email to: maps-transit-content@google.com and ask to sign up.
