The A-TRAIN Trip Planner is an interactive online utility provided to help Atlanta residents and visitors get around the city by foot, bicycle, and transit.

This resource is produced and maintained by volunteers from Citizens for Progressive Transit, a non-profit advocacy organization, as a non-commercial, open-source project. Initial funding for the project has been provided by Friends of the Earth.

How the Trip Planner Works
....

This site is awesome. Living in midtown, I walk a lot, and take transit to places I can't walk. Though I know the routes of all the buses around me, the times elude me (as they do adjust about every 2 or 3 months). Typically if I roam out of my zone I gotta memorize maps ahead of time. This thing can calculate everything from walking speed (sometimes you might walk somewhere faster than waiting for a bus ... being a few blocks from a train station), bus schedules, and train frequencies.

There is a mobile version too .... http://mobile.atltransit.com/ Just, wow.
