NJ Transit recently tied the knot with Google to to provide online trip planning via "Google Transit." It's a match made in heaven for the two giants... you'll find trip times and transfer info for 164 rail stations and 60 light rail stations. One tipster who's tried it writes:
If you give it two addresses it starts with the amount of time it takes to walk to the nearest train station (important in Montclair), the trains you need to take to get to your destination, and walking time after you arrive.You can even specify the time you want to arrive by, and it tells you when to leave. Click here for directions getting to Montclair Art Museum from Hoboken.
A bonus feature, NJ Transit's website connects to Google Maps for each rail and light rail station, so you can locate the nearest bagel shop or brewski shop at your destination before arriving.
this is actually great. I used it this morning and it saved me a cab ride. the nice part is that it gives you directions on one way streets that you would otherwise have to drive around the block to access, but by foot.... technology meets logic!
