Went into the city to hang with Dan Lyke / comment 0
Went into the city to hang with friends. Google Maps transit data has really gone to shit. From trying to direct me to non-existent bus stops, to sending me way out of my way for connections, it's... Not good.
And they still miss the feature I most want, a "maximize walking", because I know I'm gated through a once an hour bus, how many steps up Van Ness can I safely take before I risk being between stops?
