Trulia Local has today added a new feature that allows users to check out commute times in a number of U.S. cities.
Using the map house hunters can now check out how long it takes to commute to or from any location by public transit or by car. For example you can center the map on your place of work and find out all the areas within your choice of commute time.
A slider tool allows the user to adjust the time of the commute and it is possible to select either driving on public transit times. You can drag and drop the map marker to set the center point of your commute time request.
I don't know what kind of algorithm they are using to make the commute time. I'm commuting surface streets into the Atlanta area. It's claiming 50-60 minutes where as my real world runs 30-40 minutes
