… do the transit mash.

MetroRiderLA linked to Better Trolley, a tres cool web site with an interactive flash map of the San Diego Trolley system, and was especially impressed by the pinpointed stations linked to an interactive map. Upon further research, we discovered similar features for other big-city transit systems.

Google Maps Mania, a blog that tracks mash-ups using Google Maps, has a list of interesting transit mash-up maps around the world.

There’s no such service available for Southern California, yet. Although, Google Transit has rudimentary trip planners for Burbank Bus and Orange County Transportation Authority services.
