Metra, Google Team Up For Trip Planner

Metra and Google have partnered to bring us a trip planner that allows residents to plan trips involving Metra's commuter trains now, a great tool for those of us who aren't too familiar with what train to take to which suburb. While the planner incorporates CTA buses and trains, its drawback is the absence of Pace information. It offers the same info as the RTA's trip planner, but with the world going Google crazy, Metra is happy to get the plug at no cost.

There's an excellent reason for that lack of Pace information. There's an absence of Pace service. Good luck with that!

Shaen,

Not sure what you're talking about. I have a CTA/Pace commute daily and Pace is by far the more reliable part of the trip. Having their information integrated into Google would be fantastic. RTA trip planner is presently too clunky and fussy about input.

Where do you live? Near Palos/Orland area they're terrible.
