Bad transit map redirect due to hosting upgrade

On Monday my hosting service moved their servers. Ever since then requests on my site for URLs not ending in a backslash forward to crazedmonkey.nfshost.com. This means that if you access my transit map without including the backslash, the map will refuse to load because of inconsistencies with the Google Maps API key. I’ve opened a related ticket with my hosting service and hopefully they’ll fix the issue. In the meantime, please use the URL which works.

    Brilliant idea! I’m happy to see a working alternative to the ttc website.
    I hope you can sell your idea to them, it NEEDS to be apart of their site.

    Hi Ian,
    Thank you for your efforts with your transit map - you don’t know how much I appreciate it. I depend on the ttc for much of my travel, but it’s hard sometimes figuring out the best route, and as someone who gets lost easily… your transit map has relieved and aided me tremendously! The only addition I personally would love to see is being able to save locations. Thank you again!

    I can’t believe that the TTC still hasn’t added a map like this to their website, paying you for doing it. I am travelling from out of town and would never have been able to figure out how to get from A to B from the TTC. Thanks for this.

    -If they hire you, perhaps you could add a route planning feature (like mapquest or google driving directions)

    Hi Ian,

    Great work! The map worked for me till this week when transit overlay stopped showing. I tweaked security settings of IE, adding crazedmonkey.com and googlesyndication.com into trusted zone, but with little success. The only map I see now is a Google map without TTC :(
    Does anyone have a workaround? Probably some latest Windows/IE update intertwined here…

    Sorry Sergo, the map was unavailable yesterday because of an outage on the web service where I host the map tiles. It seems OK now.
