If I were Google, I'd be calling to ask how we could work together. Great idea. @Joshua – Thanks for you comment. If I were Google, I’d be calling to ask how we could work together. Great idea.

Here at CleverCommute.com, we take a more active - crowdsourced- approach. For people on trains and buses, we provide a way for them to use their mobile messaging devices to share what they see...and it's been a huge hit. They actually send short messages describing the problem...and we help them to share it with fellow interested commuters. It is free and grassroots...and started by me and a few of my commuter friends. But now, in several major cities, Clever Commute is now a part of the fabric of the daily trip in/out. --Josh Interesting stuff.

I think that this type of crowdsourcing will become common as smartphones and subnotebooks become more common.
