Since I'm in Los Angeles I'd love to hear if you think this study on "Mapping the London Underground with time instead of distance" is actually practical? http://www.oskarlin.com/2005/11/29/time-travel/

Looks a good'n, probably use. This apps far from perfect, but pretty good for a freeby: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=96C18F67F82F8DF87EB54C697536666F&platformId=2&N=96806&productId=6064&R=6064

Blake> Thanks for sharing the link to "Mapping the London Underground with time" - it's a very interesting idea. I don't like the way the author changed the line colours(though understand why he did) but otherwise think an interactive version would be excellent.

And for those of us whose stupid brick-style phones won't allow GPRS, there is the text service. Text your "from" and "to" locations to 60835 and an isntance text comes back with instructions on how to get there. Usually good value, unless it's 2:30am on a Sunday and the public transport system to your home address has called it quits for the night. Hypothetically that is...

Katherine> Ah "stupid brick-style phones.... My phone isn't anything posh - it's a C500 - you can get one for free as long as you're on a contract.

Seriously though - thanks for sharing the text message service - sounds handy.
