Uh duh

So the Globe checks in with this story about an industrious young go-getter who's leveraging Facebook to petition the MBTA to put their transportation system on Google Maps. (Apparently, teh Google has a Transit site for a number of cities where you can get directions that include public transportation options. Pretty sweet, eh?)

As you can tell from the title of this post, this is a no-brainer. I've complained about Boston being a rinky-dink town before, and it would be one thing if the Hub were lagging behind New York and Chicago. But Lexington, Cape Cod, and Framingham have their transit systems on Google, and Boston doesn't. Huh? Cmon, guys!

In the meantime, if you're looking for something slightly helpful, here's a map of town with the T superimposed on it. Not quite the same, but it works!
