Google maps combine directions with public transportation routes

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!
