USA Bus Lines

Someone who knows the CTA buses in Chicago? I'm going to be taking the Metra into downtown chicago. I need to go from there to 30 N Michigan Avenue. I can't read the bus schedules at all, because to look them up you need to know which route to use. Could someone tell me a good route from Metra to 30 N Michigan, and/or back?

How long until Manila and/or Philippines map-searchable? How long until: - you can use Google maps / Yahoo maps / Yehey maps or any web-based mapping, directions, yellow pages, or white pages (with links to maps)? - you can plan a trip on public transpo in Manila (for starters)? See: Chicago CTA/RTA trip planner http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/ New York's MTA trip planner http://www.mta.info/index.html Input start and end points, time of departure or time of arrival, and specification for fastest route / fewest transfers / shortest walking distance, and the **web app** will suggest a set of scheduled transports **including total cost for the trip**. If you can tell someone the routes of buses, jeepneys, and trikes, then a computer can do it. If a bus conductor or jeepney driver can compute the fare for your leg of his route, then a computer can do it. So: when? On YAP, lots of ppl ask for public transpo routes. In Chgo or NYC, I ask their transit authority's web app - it's better than the average Chgoan or NYer.
