Google maps combine directions with public transportation routes

From Molly's Cupcakes to Dinkel's Bakery
Finally, my dream mapping tool is here! Google maps now calculates directions based on public transportation. All I have to do is plug in addresses between establishments and Google will tell me how to get there, how long it will take and even how much transportation will cost. I am delighted.
The one down side? It doesn't note station closures. I'm not sure how they'd pull in this information, but I think it's needed particularly since some CTA Brown Line stops are closed for upwards of a year.
Added! Found another thing I don't like -- this service doesn't allow you to add multiple stops. It will do it with driving directions, but not public transportation. *sigh* C'mon, Google! People who take the CTA go to multiple destinations!
