Mapumental

Watch this video, where Tom Steinberg, from mysociety.org, explains what Mapumental (now in public beta) is about: basically it shows how much time does it takes to get from one point of UK to another when you use bus, train, tram, tube or boat (where timetables are available). Finally, the goal is to really be aware of how far (in time, not in space) is your house from the center of a city (where you are supposed to work, specially if the city is London). It also adds the pricing of each area, so you can check interesting areas to move in, in order to arrive early to work and live in an affordable place. A great way to use official data and get something really worth for the user. Check out the video.
