PUBLIC transport users are being pointed in the right direction thanks to the launch of a new on-line journey planner.

Now commuters will find it even easier to plan a trip anywhere if they log on to Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive's (GMPTE) website.

By accessing www.gmpte.com passengers can plan any journey by bus, coach or train, or any combination.

Users simply enter their starting point and intended destination, stating when they want to travel. The journey planner will do the rest, displaying the full range of public transport options available.

A new feature making the journey planner much easier to use is the introduction of full interactive mapping.
