In just about any city, public transportation will take you just about anywhere you need to go. Figuring out which train to catch or bus to hop on the go can be hard, though, if you don't have all the routes committed to memory. Once you've left your home or office, and can't make new plans with the help of your trusty computer, don't fret; you can use the trusty services of HopStop to get where you need to go.

In addition to their online transit guide, that offers trip planning services for bus or subway in New York City (with beta service in New Jersey, Long Island, and the Metro North area), Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., to help with planning on the go, HopStop also offers two forms of mobile service for those without computer or PDA access; either send them a text message of where you want to go, or call them up and say the address, and they'll send directions back to your phone.

When you're back in front of the computer, they also offer city guides to help you figure out what to do when you get off the train or bus, and an opportunity to rate your trip for timeliness, safety, cleanliness and comfort.
