PATCO has formed a partnership with Google Transit to schedule information on the passenger train line between Center City Philadelphia and Lindenwold.



A link can be found on the PATCO website, www.ridepatco.org or through www.google.com/transit.



The service can also be accessed on Google Maps via Desktop computer or web-enabled cell phone. Users can simply enter a starting location and destination in Google Maps to get directions, and click on the "public transit" icon at the top of the screen to see suggested routes and times.



"Riders will not need to sort through timetables," said PATCO General Manager Bob Box. "They can simply enter the date and time they hope to arrive at their destination and the trip planner will provide options showing the amount of time and number of transfers for each option."



PATCO Assistant General Manager Cheryl Spicer observed "this service along with Google Maps provide walking directions so our customers can find out exactly how to get to the nearest transit stop or station and how to get to their destination once they leave the train or bus."
