I love websites. I adore web 2.0. And I feel all warm and fuzzy inside whenever I can share a good site I found. Upon people's request, I've emailed them lists of my favorite sites and have been keeping my own list that requires quite a bit of scrolling to get down to the bottom. So this morning, I said to myself, why not share the goods with all of you? I've split up my list into categories, and every week until my list runs out, I'll post a category here. If you have any suggestion please let me know! An infinite list would be nice :)
Today's category is Local Travel:
www.hopstop.com (only available in select cities)
Get public transportation directions and estimated travel times, with delays taken into account. You can also get walking directions, private shuttles and ferries, and estimated cost and time for cab rides. If you're trying to decide which public transportation lines to use or get an apartment near, check out their customer ratings. You can also create an itinerary, save trips, browse the city's attractions, and get it all sent to your cell phone.
www.google.com/transit
Here you can get directions, maps, and schedules, and coverage in nearly all of the United States as well as internationally. You can't get some of the other cool stuff that HopStop offers, but it's just as useful for the basics and is offered in a lot more cities.
www.ridethecity.com
If you're one of the many New Yorkers trading your MetroCard in for a bike, RidetheCity is a perfect way for you to find the fastest and safest routes and to calculate travel times. Unfortunately, it's only available in New York right now.
www.mizpee.com
If your public transportation is anything like New York City's, then finding a decent bathroom in the station is out of the question. MizPee lists public restrooms and user ratings in many states and even in Europe. It even keeps track of whether you need to buy anything at the places listed. You can also search on your phone, save your favorite pee spots, suggest toilets, play toilet trivia, and find deals on everything from cafes to spas.
That's all for now, folks! Hope this has been helpful.
Following my analysis, millions of people in the world receive the loans from various creditors. Therefore, there's a good possibility to receive a car loan in every country.
