PublicRoutes.Com Says Aloha - Brings Public Transportation Directions to Hawaii

Posted on: Tuesday, 22 May 2007, 11:35 CDT

NEW YORK, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- PublicRoutes.com, the first international directions-based Web resource for public transportation, today announced the launch of a complete navigational resource for public transportation throughout the entire Honolulu area.

Honolulu is the largest city in Hawaii with close to 900,000 people and the city has proven to be the hub of business on the island state -- as is evidenced by their hosting of Hawaii's international airport. The city's award winning public transportation system (TheBus) consists entirely of buses, including ten hybrid buses. On average, 25,000 tourists utilize the bus each day as their means of traveling around the island. PublicRoutes.com enables the residents and tourists of Hawaii to better utilize TheBus during their daily commute or to find local attractions.

With recently added features and state-of-the-art, patent pending technology, PublicRoutes.com operates with unsurpassed speed and accuracy. The website provides users with point-to-point directions for all modes of transportation -- from the bus to driving and walking directions.

"Hawaii has one of the most vibrant tourist industries in the country and we feel that PublicRoutes.com is a very useful and practical resource for anyone coming into the state," said Marc Sellouk, CEO of PublicRoutes.com. "Honolulu is our 17th major metropolitan launch and PublicRoutes.com is quickly becoming synonymous with great directions worldwide."

Merging all a city's resources into a free, easy-to-use website, PublicRoutes.com also allows users to obtain information and door-to-door directions to the city's top points of interest including restaurants, tourist attractions like Waikiki beach, sporting arenas and nightlife venues. In addition, the website offers a one-stop resource to search for, compare and book hotels, flights and vacation packages for those visiting Honolulu as well as other travel add-ons including car services and tickets to events.

The website's advanced features include: * Local Guides: For anything from car services to local restaurants to area attractions, PublicRoutes.com provides an extensive directory of local businesses and vendors that allows users to create itineraries, maps, and detailed directions to and from selected locations within seconds. * MyPublicRoutes: A service on PublicRoutes.com that remembers specific locations entered by the user to provide a faster, more efficient way of searching for directions and personalizing the experience. * Flights, Hotels and More: Powered by Travelocity, this feature on PublicRoutes.com allows users to book airplane tickets and hotel reservations and offers vacation packages, last minute deals for all of the country's top destinations, tickets to popular attractions and much more.

PublicRoutes.com will soon expand to serve more cities within the U.S. and internationally. For more information and to access the new PublicRoutes.com navigation resource, please visit http://www.publicroutes.com/.
