Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

Here is something to do after you complete Tommy’s request to plan your trip to work on Google Transit. Let’s have some fun. What is the longest trip you can plan using Google Transit? Include walking time.

I have come up with a trip from Pony Express Way & Race Track Rd, Odessa, FL 33556 to: chert rock trail, wimauma, fl.  It takes 6 hours and 2 minutes in transit and 1 hour 50 minutes walking. After walking for 53 minutes you pick up the first bus at 7:01 AM and get dropped off by the last bus at 1:03 P.m. with only 56 minutes left to walk to your destination.  Part of the reason for such a long ride is there is a 1 hour 33 minutes transfer wait.

According to Google driving the 49 miles would take 1 hour 14 minutes.

After playing with it for a while, I suspect that if you have to walk for more than an hour to catch a bus, maybe HARTline isn’t the way to go.
