Where Have All the Bus Stops Gone?

Fire up Google Maps to find out where to catch the bus, and it won't help much; dozens or hundreds of stops are displayed in the wrong locations, have the wrong bus lines associated with them, or aren't shown at all.

Try this mess at Brigham Circle, for example. You'll spend a long time waiting for the 39 on Tremont Street, yet that's where Google Maps now declares the 39 stops; the stop for the 39 on Huntington Avenue is gone.

By the way, here's what we were promised for live transit updates about a week ago. Here's what we got instead.

Want to report that the stations or stops are in the wrong locations? Sorry, can't do that.

New game: Where's Mumbles?

(Google Maps has a history of getting landmarks in Boston wrong. A year or two ago, they had Kendall Station about 2 blocks east of its real location.)

Ok, so I've been living in Boston for 2 years and there's still so much for me to see. The internet is nice but so impersonal, and I for one don't like PDAs and Blackberry type of things. My biggest help has been MAP BOSTON. For anyone who graduated recently and and wants to add a little adventure into their daily organization, MAP BOSTON is made for you. Imagine a day planner fused with a city guide for locals. It rocks, it's fun, and it's worth checking out.
