Google In Microsoft's Home Town? 
By: Manoj Jasra 2006-09-26 Look out Seattle, Google Transit has now added King County Metro Transit routes to it's free trip planning service. On Monday night, King County was one of five... ...new areas added, the other 4 included to Pittsburgh, Tampa Florida, Eugene Oregon and Honolulu. Links: Google Transit, King County "The addition of King County Metro Transit may give the Internet search giant a bigger role in the daily lives of people in the Seattle area, home to Google rival Microsoft Corp. But that wasn't a factor in the decision..." I am not completely convinced that this wasn't a factor and I bet Microsoft is playing close attention to Google's plans. Maybe we'll see a "Microsoft Metro" expansion pack in the upcoming Office 2007 release :) Google Transit Trip Planner enables you to enter the specifics of your trip-where you're starting, where you're ending up, what time of day you'd like to leave and/or arrive-then uses all available public transportation schedules and information to plot out the most efficient possible step-by-step itinerary.
