I'd like to add that they don't yet take advantage of transit around
the airport. Portland International is I assume pretty well connected
into the public transportation grid (like most airports I know) and the
TriMet link shows those routes clearly. Google's system shows me
needing to walk 1/2 hour from the airport to catch the red line to
Beaverton, however.
Airport connectivity should be a high priority for this system:
business travelers, tourists, whoever is coming into a city for the
first time would like to know how to get from the airport to their
destination and <b>do not</b> know the good links (your TriMet link for
example) that locals know to get them there. If google can give
accurate info on picking up these routes, I think they can promote
public transit to many people who would never use it in unfamiliar
cities.
A hopeful thought...
