Google Labs has opened up a beta of their transit trip planning tool at http://google.com/transit. It generates very detailed directions about how to get from one point to another using public transit. It provides transit travel time, walking times and distances as well as a comparing with the cost and travel time of driving. A tool like this could really help people to make a well informed decision about whether to drive or take public transit.

Too bad it currently only works for Portland, Oregon.
