NEW YORK, Jan. 22 -- PublicRoutes.com, a directions-based Web resource, today announced the expansion of its services to include two new features that will provide a more personal feel to the website's navigational resources: Language Translation and MyPublicRoutes.

Understanding the diversity of the online community, PublicRoutes.com is proud to now offer their services in 14 different languages, all on one site. With languages ranging from Spanish and German to Portuguese and Italian, a user is now able to find public transportation and driving directions for an unfamiliar place, in a familiar language. PublicRoutes.com is swiftly moving towards an international launch and this new language service opens the door for many different countries and peoples to benefit from the company's unique GIS technology.

  The languages available are:
  * English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek,
    Swedish, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified),
    Japanese, Korean and Russian

PublicRoutes.com also announced today the launch of MyPublicRoutes, a service on the website that remembers specific locations entered by the user to provide a faster, more efficient way of searching for directions. When a user logs into MyPublicRoutes, their address (be it their apartment, home, business, etc.) is saved by PublicRoutes.com technology and automatically used during searches to personalize their experience.

"Our goal at PublicRoutes.com is to constantly engage the user and provide an enjoyable and easy way to find directions from one place to another," said Marc Sellouk, CEO of PublicRoutes.com. "What we provide at PublicRoutes.com is a single source to help anyone - tourists, residents, commuters - determine the fastest and most accurate way to travel using public transportation. These two new features expedite that process and broaden our horizons to help more people get where they're going - whether that's getting to and from work, going to sporting events, shopping, sightseeing or enjoying area attractions in any one of the great cities we offer services to."

PublicRoutes.com initially launched in June 2006 in New York City and is now available to Chicago, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia and Texas. The website features state-of-the-art, patent pending technology with unsurpassed speed and accuracy that provides users with point-to-point directions for all modes of transportation - from buses and trains to driving and walking directions. In addition, the website offers a one-stop resource to search for local businesses, find comprehensive maps, compare and book hotels, flights and vacation packages and more.
