I tried it a couple times against Google Transit directions. Google Transit gave me better, active trans options - and in some cases when Goroo couldn't find a schedule for me at all.
I think a regional trip planner is important, but this one isn't there yet. And mobile-compatibility is a must (Google's phone apps are going to be tough to beat).

We are beta testing the bike piece. It's okay. I talked with RTA today and they are still working thorugh bugs on the whole thing. But suffice it to say, the bike piece is coming. In the meantime, Ride the City does a good job for a basic bike trip planner.

This trip planner doesn't seem all that much better than the previous one. While driving and driving to transit are nice features for those with a car, biking and biking to transit would be even better, and they're both missing. I told the system that I was willing to walk 3 miles (bike, right?!) and it still wanted me to take a bus instead. I can see that the bus would be faster than walking, but probably not faster than biking. The Mode Shift article says that biking is included, but its not. What gives?
