MySociety has come up with a nifty little online tool (in development). It takes the distance and travel calculations that other mapping services like MapQuest or Google Maps offer a bit further by allowing you to choose between different modes of travel [via].
This is not just a frivilous little tool for fun’s sake. MySociety plans to use this technology to relate housing prices and travel times and calculate travel costs based on constraints of the users. Prices are often not incorporated into the calculations for estimating the model for choice in transportation and I believe, that this may have broader implications for community demographics and housing availability.

Travel The MySociety Way…
Looks like a good service to check out travel costs and housing prices to see where it makes economic sense to live…….
