Find a new way home on the MBTA with BusRyda’s new service: Trip Planner http://blog.busryda.com/trip-planner/ http://blog.busryda.com/trip-planner/#comments Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:49:34 +0000 BusRyda No. 1 http://blog.busryda.com/?p=32 Finding a new way home via the MBTA just got a lot easier.

Today, BusRyda announces the addition of Trip Planner to create a duo of helpful mobile applications for finding your way around Boston on the MBTA. Point your phone’s browser to http://busryda.com/ to begin using the new service right away.

More screenshots available after the jump. 

BusRyda’s Trip Planner operates similarly to the Trip Planner already available on the MBTA’s web site — http://mbta.com — but is streamlined for mobile use. Text fields allow you to input an address, intersection, station or landmark of one’s origin and destination locations, and provides three options of departure times: now, in 1 hour, or in 2 hours. Most results provide two itineraries for convenience.

Unlike BusRyda’s original bus schedule tool, Trip Planner allows users to find travel routes and connections on any of the MBTA’s services: buses, subways, and even the Commuter Rail.

BusRyda and its services are not affiliated with the MBTA.

The site is self-described as:

“A sample of Boston’s best mobile apps. Bored? Find new friends on MocoSpace. Take a tour of the West End with Untravel Media. Capture photos with SnapMyLife. Find something fun to do with Where, and find the next ride there with Busryda. Listen to Foneshow and play Otis to entertain yourself on the way.”

For such a young little web app, we couldn’t be more proud. Thanks!

We love this line, “the service is not affiliated with the MBTA (you can tell that because it actually works!).”

Hey, we ALWAYS love when things just work! Thanks again.
