Dadnab enables riders of mass transit (bus, rail, etc.) to plan their trips using text messaging from their mobile phones. A rider sends a text message with her origin and destination, and Dadnab replies to the message with an itinerary telling which buses or trains to take, at which stops, and at what times.The service is currently available in Austin, Boston, Dallas, and Houston, with many more cities in the works.
Below is a demo, in the form of a web widget, of the +Dadnab service:
Comments and suggestions about the service are welcome. Please feel free to try it from your mobile phone (see the web site for instructions), and don't hesitate to spread the word.
UPDATE: To learn how to include the Dadnab widget on your blog or other web page, see my next entry.

Bravo! Please include Chicago, as we have a very healthy public transit ridership. (Can't always say the same about the service, but we're used to it.)
Thanks, Jeff. Your timing is impeccable, as Chicago is the next city that Dadnab will support. Look for it to be available before February.
Any thoughts on Washington, DC or Milwaukee joining the list of cities any time soon?
Washington, DC is in the plans but as of yet there is no projected date.
