It's full of real-time information, and has a very modern, streamlined design.

Note at the top it says "Submit your thoughts to help us make the best possible website for you."

I like how the "Find nearby stops and stations" is right at the top, and if you click the blue arrow button you'll get all the stops & routes in order of distance away. (That's assuming you let your web browser send your location to the website.)

As far as I can tell, they haven't updated it since its initial launch. My interpretation is that it is supposed to be mobile-friendly, instead of having a separate mobile website. I hate mobile websites and this one in particular seems like garbage, to me. To each their own, but I just don't think it's all that pretty or, more importantly, user-friendly.
