In order from most to least severe:

Bug #1: If I plan a trip from "Rancho Bernardo Transit Station, San
Diego, CA" to "Cerritos, CA 90703" and tell it I want to *depart* on a
weekday early in the morning, it plans trips that arrive at 10:42am
and 11:42am (see the link below). But if instead I tell it I want to
*arrive by* 12:00pm on the same day, it gives an error instead of
returning one of the same results.

Bug #2: The error message from #1 is, "Your search for transit
directions from Rancho Bernardo Transit Station, San Diego, CA to
Cerritos, CA 90703 appears to be outside our current coverage area."
which is obviously incorrect or the link below wouldn't work at all.

Bug #3: When I get the error result in #2 as a result of changing from
"depart at" to "arrive by", it changes the radio button back to
"depart at". In other words, it didn't preserve my input.

It's been almost 3 months. Has any progress been made on these bugs?

Hi Derek,

The transit team at Google definitely notes all the feedback on this
group, though we don't always have time to respond to every message.

In any case, the trip you're asking for crosses such a large area that
the Google Maps trip planner can't always find good results in a
reasonable amount of time. However, the transit team is continually
working to improve their trip planner, so hopefully we'll be able to
give you better results for this query in the future.

Cheers,
Joe Hughes

Thanks, Joe. That addresses bug #1. What about bugs #2 and #3?

Could this be related to the bug that I've been asking about with
start_time and end_time in the Frequences table being ignored for use
with the "arrive by" or "depart by" fields?
