'Heroic' 511 Among Top-10 Great Government Web Sites
 |
| 511 is the He-Man of websites |
"Although a number of cities offer Web-based trip planners," says Government Computer News, "San Francisco's combines the schedules of dozens of subway, light-rail, trolley and bus systems, a heroic act of interagency coordination."
Other winning websites included the USPS virtual post office, data.gov, science.gov, webcontent.com (a Web site demonstrating how to make better Web sites) and the site for the state of Utah. But none of them got the high distinction of "hero."
We'll admit, 511 is pretty convenient when it comes to planning trips involving multiple transit operators around the Bay Area. But problems with late trains and buses seem to arise more often than not. Of course, that's not really our hero's fault, is it?
