OMG Cool: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/transit/chicago/

Unfortunately, it doesn't integrate Metra or PACE, but if you can get there on the CTA, there are tons of super-nifty features, including trip planning, timetables, estimated travel time, little arrows to show you where to walk to, etc.

Nifty.

(Y'know, this might be one thing that pushes me into getting an iPhone. Eventually. I still have a year on my Verizon contract, and I likey my phone.)

Ok. I feel obliged to say this. Blackberry FTW! I adore my Pearl. It comes with a map program integrated into it. It gives you driving directions and everything. I totally love it. And if it has my tiny town accurately mapped, you know it has anywhere you'd actually care to go. And the internet feature is very smooth. Have I mentioned I love it?

most importantly it connects to GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW!!!

I plan to write to Pace and Metra and let them know how much they suck for not signing up.
