      About Google Transit

      The Google Transit trip planner featured on foothilltransit.org is powered by Google. Google Transit enables you to enter the specifics of your trip, like your origin and your destination, and the time of day you'd like to leave and/or arrive, and then uses all available public transportation schedules and information to plot out the most efficient step-by-step transit itinerary. You can even compare the cost of your trip with the cost of driving the same route.

      Terms and Conditions

      Foothill Transit strives to provide quality information through Google Transit, but cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. This is a new and experimental service that is still being refined both by Google and participating transit agencies. It is recommended that riders double-check trip itineraries with the published bus schedules available on foothilltransit.org. Please see the Google Transit Terms and Conditions.

      What should I do if I receive incorrect, misleading, or confusing trip itinerary information?

      If your trip itinerary has inaccurate stop locations, times, fares, or service schedule information, it's probably because of misinformation between Foothill Transit and Google Transit. Record the origin, destination and arrival/departure date and time for your itinerary and use the link below to provide information to Foothill Transit about the problem you experienced.

      Only through your continued use and feedback can we make Google Transit better for everyone.  It is technically still in the "beta" stage, which means fine tuning is still in the works.

      Things to Consider When Using Google Transit

      Some routes may be drawn as straight lines from stop to stop, and do not follow the actual route of the bus on the roads. We are working to improve this.

      Google Transit may provide two or three suggested trip plans. We recommend you always check these alternative itineraries as they may provide a trip that better meets your needs.

      Walking directions and times can be inaccurate, sometimes suggesting walking across un-passable obstacles. Google is working to improve walking directions.  Always choose the safest approach for your location.
