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 website.

On www.gmpte.com passengers can plan any journey by bus, coach or train, or any combination by entering their starting point, intended destination and the date of the journey.

The journey planner will display 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.
