I have been contacted by Dan C, via Underscore, with a practical idea to help Bristol become more digital. He saw a post on the Google blogs regarding Google Transit, where bus timetables have been added to Google Maps, so when you’re planning a route it will give you the public transport, walking and driving options for getting from A to B and will mark the routes on a map.
A few cities in the US are currently served (including California and Hawaii) and Dan was suggesting Bristol could be the first city in the UK to join in. I think this is a great idea – I know we are already talking to First Bus and Bristol City Council already has a journey planner on Travel Bristol, so this may be something we could pursue.
Any thoughts?
Connecting Bristol is the city’s response to the Digital Challenge.
