Wouldn't it be nice if GRT/ION published a map like this: New London Tube Map Shows How Long It Takes to Walk, Not Ride a Train. Likewise if this sort of information was included in the Transit app.
Note that this map shows, in addition to the usual transit routes, how much time it takes to walk from station to station. This would help people decide if it's faster to walk to their destination rather than wait for a bus or train. Those who chose to hoof it would not only get some exercise but also save the fare to take a ride (and potentially even relieve congestion on the bus/train system once our system gets to that level.)
