I love the things Google is doing with its maps -- and that it has opened its design so others can play, too -- but this one has great potential: Google Transit.
It allows you to plot a trip using mass transit in . . . well, for right now, only in Portland, Ore. Other cities will be added, according to the Google Blog, and hopefully Houston will be one of them.
The site taps into publicly available route information from transit agencies. Houston's a possibility because Metro already has a trip planner. The data Google would need is already on the Web.
Update: Google has a similar service called "Ride Finder" in selected markets - including Houston. It is cool checking out the real-time locations of Houston area taxis.
