Neat idea percolating in the Bay Area:

Bay Area TransitCamp is an offshoot of similar events held in Toronto and Vancouver, British Columbia. Organizers are active in what has come to be known as the 2.0 community in which people mix creativity, technology and a desire to spread information to a broader audience through blogs, Web design and social-networking sites.

At Bay Area TransitCamp, there will be a heavy emphasis on how to make better use of technology – such as the Internet, text messaging and mobile phones – to make it easier to navigate the region’s many transit systems.

The transit agencies’ existing Web sites, they said, are generally cumbersome and hard to navigate.

Here’s the web site. Time for something similar in Seattle?
