it will spit out about 3 public transit "trip" options including both bus and light rail...it also shows travel time based on the next bus and light rail stop times...by selecting "options" you are able to enter a custom date and time using the "depart at" or "arrive by" buttons...GO GOOGLE!!
Hmm...neat idea, but it needs some work. Pretty sure RTD is not going to let me get out on the freeway. Nor do I want to swim across the creek or walk through peoples backyards. But still, a nice idea!

edit: it's kind of a sadly accurate tool for checking out how much faster driving is 99.9% of the time here in denver.
