Hi Jennifer,
http://www.sbb.ch/, used it for long time, for me, the good experience
lies in two parts
1. it's very easy to lookup and plan your schedule (just point the
begin and end)
2. the subway/train always on time
Regards,

You can take a look at this Seoul, Korea subway website. They provide some
great feature that you're looking for.
- *Quick to get info* - Provide show/hide interested Line only. This
reduce the mental workload trying to find a target station in a highly
complex subway system.

I just recently have had to start using the TCAT bus system in Ithaca,
NY. I've had reasonable success with their site and interactive maps.
The trip planner is lacking somewhat (based on the limited results it
generates) but it's a step in the right direction.

This site has been set up in England (and maybe the rest of the UK).
It brings together train, bus, car and walking. This is a area which
is exceptionally important as integration is important if public
transport is to take off.
The Shanghai metro has expanded rapidly over the last 5 years (about 6
lines added) and will continue to do so upto the World Expo in 2010
(13 lines in total!). Sometimes it can be confusing to navigate
around the possible interchange stations. The following website is
really useful;
Others can debate the potential security holes opened here, but
http://swisstrains.ch/ shows the projected physical locations of
trains in Switzerland based on the published timetables. I believe
they're working on getting the actual GPS coordinates.

Which is what, a junior high word problem in algebra?
If a train leaves Zurich at 0900 and has an average velocity of 148kph,
at what time will it arrive at Winterthur?

I use New Jersey Transit (http://www.njtransit.com) from time to time, and I
can't say that their Web experience is a good one, but it has a couple of
features that are reasonably well done. One, they have a station
information popup that tells you the street address, parking and bike rack
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority site offers riders a
lot of information and tools wrapped in a fairly clean design.

While living in San Francisco for a few years, I've used the Trip
Planner site to figure out the best route for my needs (you can
select the route by fastest trip, fewest transfers, or
least walking options).

I had a great experience using the Emery Go Round system in
Emeryville, CA due to their NextBus real-time tracking implementation,
however their web site can definitely use some work and isn't as
simple or direct as One Bus Away's site. You can retrieve real-time
shuttle status from the bus stop
hopstop.com is really great, at least for New York it is. To me it's
what the MTA site *should* be.

Hi Folks,
I'm researching options for improving public transportation websites,
particularly bus transportation. I've found most city sites to be
lacking, but have found some nice mapping, real-time route information
on the Chicago CTA site and onebusaway.org for the Seattle Metro area. Google

Try looking at the Portland Oregon Tri Met site as well. We did a
project recently that included some transportation questions as well.
The route planning part of this site was something we looked at
because it integrated their bus system, light rail and trolleys when
giving route information and
