Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2001 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Have I yet mentioned how terrific the TakeTransit Automated Trip Planner is? It's awesome! When it comes to San Francisco Bay area public transit, TransitInfo's Trip Planner is as good as gold -- or, better, as good as Google.

For a random sample trip, a detailed itinerary with fares and times and everything. And the usability! Forget classified ads -- here is where the filtering/pull capacities of modern technology shine.

I sound like Jon Katz. Stop! Stop! Get it off me!
