GotoBus.com uses Google Local Maps to add an interactive map for searching bus routes.
CAMBRIDGE, MA, April 17, 2006桮otoBus.com, the leading online purveyor of bus tickets and tours, announced the release of an interactive map to help customers search for bus routes from any of the locations it serves. The new map is built using Google Local Maps and incorporates the latest mapping capabilities and graphics.
The map allows customers to toggle on any city and immediately see links to all the destinations served from that city. Color coding is also utilized to differentiate between departure and destination. Clicking on any yellow bus icon on the map, will show all destinations accessible from that city.
