Why is it that Google Maps still does not show JTA tansit routes while Gainesville buslines are already being utilized by Google Maps?

The below link shows the cities participating:

A while back JTA stated that they had uploaded their transit maps to Google.  I don't see how this could be true if Gainesville is already on there.  I think it is important for JTA to be on Google Maps in order to become more user friendly while planning trips.

TheProfessor............JTA has their own agenda and I am sorry but it does not include the people who just happen to pay for it all!

Who knows....

Check out this product, called NEXT BUS (or Streetcar), uses Google Maps, NBTech, Live Maps+Schedules.
Read it and weep, Jax is not on it at all, in fact only two Florida Cities, and the rest of the Southeast is pretty much a no-show. OKC is a JTA clone, so lay it alongside MUNI.

Ock...............JTA is.........to be honest I am not sure just what the hell they are.......they have their own agenda and that doesn't apply to the rest of us! I mean look at the shelter fiasco.......they can't tell me they need advertising to erect a basic shelter, I mean that is a crock of excrement! Those buggers got funds to pay the executives and management so WTF! To me it is a matter of prioritizing and they don't seem to be able to do it other than making sure they pay themselves. JTA's Budget passed without review or inquiry when it ran before the City Council......just got rubber stamped and away it went!
