They're putting HopStop out of business ... doesn't help that MTA and the mayor are endorsing Google. It really isn't fair when NYC already had a local company doing the same exact thing that Google is doing now.

This is why small businesses can't survive here ... the big guns always take them done.

begalspice, there are several nyc transit sites. I've never used HopStop and always used trips123.com instead. It makes sense for google to integrate everything.

I'm already looking at google to see where the place is, why should I have to go to another site to see how to get there?

I wanted to know how to get home from my college using the bus system (I live in Miami, FL), and so I used Google Maps - WORST IDEA EVER. I told a bus driver what Google had told me to do, and she told me that I would have been on the bus all day if I did it that way. So, I love Google, but I'd rather not listen to their bus and subway advice.

I always used HopStop. I may give Google a try, just to see, but I really like Hopstop.
