Not like Back To The Future, but pretty cool nonetheless. These transportation maps from the UK are super-sweet – they show the travel time by bus or rail from a few cities in the UK. I imagine we’ll be able to generate maps like this on the fly to show travel time from wherever you are someday. [photopress:transporttion_maps.jpg,thumb,alignright]

Until then, you can always pick two spots and get the travel time via Bus Monster (Seattle) or Google Transit (Portland). I suspect other cities will get Google Transit service soon- a little bird told me that Google transit is getting data from King County Metro.
