To see an example:

  1. View one of their venue pages, such as The Great Nabob.
  2. Enter a Seattle address into the “Current location:” box in the upper-right part of the page (for example, pike and broadway seattle), and click “Save”. A red X should appear on the map.
  3. Hit reload in your browser to refresh the page. A “Get transit options (Experimental)” link should appear under the venue address on the left.
  4. Click the link for Google Transit directions!

The feature is basically just creating a GET request URL containing the start and end addresses, along with the time that the quiz starts, for Google Transit. Nice work, guys!
