The Incredibly Simple Fantasy Bus Route Tool Even the Pros Love
.
The design-your-own-bus-route tool called Transitmix had all the makings of an Internet sensation when it came out last summer: an addictive fantasy system capable of entertaining both amateurs and wonks alike. And it didn’t disappoint. In six months since the beta version launched, users have created some 50,000 transit maps in 3,600 cities around the world. …
Transitmix simplified and prettified everything. Users can find the map of any city and either import existing bus routes or draw their own from scratch. No more Google Earth. They instantly see the stops, schedules, and cost of individual lines or entire systems. No more Excel. They can even layer in geospatial Census data to see, for instance, how many people in a certain corridor live below the poverty line.
