Check out Google's new "Transit"

Tom Johnson
See http://www.google.com/transit    or
http://www.google.com/transit?ie=UTF8&ll=37.804972,-122.131890&spn=0.230893,0.600732

If you are familiar with the cities in the Google Transit home page library,
some very cool stuff going on here.  For example, pick the San Francisco Bay
Area BART transit maps.  Drill down into some familiar corner, click on "the
Street View" button in upper right,  and then click on the "little man" icon
and zoom in and pivot.  Nifty action here (though I still wish these guys
would show us the meta data with the date and time when these pics were
taken.)
