tell me if you think this idea is worth it...
so...i've been living in hong kong for the past year, and hk has one of the greatest public transportation in the world. but the thing is...if i don't know where to go...i have to go to multiple websites and figure out how to get there via subway, bus, mini bus. etc etc. anywho...i really want to propose to google a way to integrate all the public transportation where you input your starting address, and ending address, and google maps will tell you how to get to where you need to go via walking to a bus stop/subway and use their public transportation. subway, bus, mini bus, trams. it would be a hard task. but i think it would be a great service for the people who use public transportation. which i'd say 70% of hong kong uses on a daily basis. yes? no? does google already have this?

The DC metro has something like this.
