Which transit systems are used is out of our control. This would be a Mapquest issue. We will report it to them. If all transit options in the various cities are not included, we should pull this feature as it isn't very helpful. Justin, we don't really know if Mapquest is using GTSF or not. We hope to improve on this feature in the future. At the very least, we want to know how things work.

The Seeing Eye app routed me to a Metra commuter train to Manhattan, IL and to walk several miles to the courthouse. By contrast, the multi-modal trip planner provided by the Regional Transportation Authority at GoRoo.com routed me properly to the L and then to a Pace suburban bus at Midway Airport that took me directly in front of the court facility. Using the L and the bus, the trip would take 74 minutes compared to the two hours and 20 minutes projected by the Seeing Eye app. It seems obvious from this and other multi-modal routs I have planned that the Seeing Eye app has route information for the Chicago Transit Authority and Metra commuter rail only but lacks any information regarding the more than 200 routes of the Pace suburban bus system. Usually when travel services say public transit information is available for a particular city, it means that all transit providers are included in that region, not just some. Why was Pace not included? Could it be added? If not, documentation should specify that only CTA and Metra routes are available and no Pace routes. Otherwise some might be confused. I will still have GoRoo bookmarked in Safari to plan trips with public transit in the suburbs.
