“CTA Directions Now On Google Maps!”

I must have said that at least 10,000 times yesterday. I volunteered to help the Google Transit team spread the word yesterday about being able to get CTA directions on Google Maps. We gave out informational cards, Google Maps hats, talked to people and gave demos at kiosks. It was fun to interact with all the different people where I was stationed at Clark/Lake, but man… 5 hours on my feet after walking around so much in New Orleans really killed me. I was dead last night. I think every media outlet in Chicago reported on the new feature, though, so it was worth it.

Update: You can see me in the news clip below. For some reason I spin in a circle.
