Google Mobile Trip Planner

[Lawrence Sutton]

The following url used to link to a web form that was sized for mobile devices and let you trip plan. 

http://www.google.com/m/directions/?dirflg=r 

The querystring of dirflg=r would default the method of transportation to transit and use the GTFS data. It worked very well.

Now when you go to the form there is only one textbox to enter data into and it does not process the entry.

What happened to the great form?

Thanks!

My understanding is that this feature has been deprecated.  I believe the page will eventually be removed.

Personally I would encourage Google to remove it sooner than later or just post a statement on there that the form does not work. To keep a form public but make it where it doesn't work is very frustrating. That being said, I would highly encourage the decision to deprecate that feature to be reconsidered. I know that everyone LOVES having "an app for that" but there are times when a short and simple web form is a better solution.

Thanks!
