Hey guys, I've pushed a beta version of the desktop browser version of myTransit. It's at http://beta.mytrans.it
Don't even bother if you're on IE, it's horribly broken in that and I haven't bothered to fix it yet. I know it needs better error correction etc. Let me know what you guys think.

It looks good although a lot of locations aren't on the map (Although I'm sure you're aware of that).

Fantastic! I've been using the iPhone version in Firefox, but this works much much better. Thanks!

Only suggestions I can think of:
- giving the textbox fields a memory so that using the back/forward buttons retains the data if you want to change it
- advancing forward and backwards in time, similar to the way tv guides are represented on the internet (use the same origin destination and just alter the time)
- allowing parsing of time key words in any order (eg. "tomorrow 9am" works same as "9am tomorrow")
- memory of frequently used/recently used boxes, or even ability to set a "home", perhaps stored simply in a cookie
- walk doesn't show up on the timeline (but you probably already know that)

Like you mentioned, doesn't work in IE (which makes up over 50% of usage from all browsers), so I installed Google Chrome, and very nicely laid out.
My only suggestion as 'bunza' has already mentioned a few is to have a 'arrive by' time aswell, as I was searching for route options for my step son to arrive somewhere by a certain time.
For all your printing needs, think Print Arana - visit www.printarana.com.au or phone 1300 866 593
