google transit chicago bus ad

Google Transit recently became available to Chicago users and the Chicago team has been very active in promoting the service to the residents of the city, like passing out flyers and advertising on buses, as you can see.

According to the Google LatLong blog, “the [Chicago Transit Authority] serves an average of 1.6 million riders per weekday and nearly 500 million rides a year, so being able to provide this new service to our vast ridership and all of the 45 million tourists who visit this great city every year is a great stride in promoting the use and convenience of public transportation.”
