How long from here?
Fifteen minutes from Lark and Washington on CDTA.
This is somewhat interesting/fun: Mapnificient, an online mapping app, can project how far you can travel on public transit in the Capital District in a given amount of time. A screengrab is above. The easiest way to understand it is to just try it.
Mapnificient is the creation of Stefan Wehrmeyer, web developer in Germany. It reminds of us of similar maps we've seen for London.
Modestly useful in the Capital District? Sure. Fun to play with? Definitely.

Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

this is really cool for any number of reasons, in part because it's based on OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/), which is a wikipedia style map. i feel some pride of authorship because i'm one of the wiki-mappers who has put a lot of work into the Albany map. anyone who wants better maps of the Capital District is welcome to join and help.
