Redefining what a map can be with new information and AI

My pet peeve is that there is no hybrid bike/transit routing option. If you choose transit, they assume you are pedestrian. Maybe the option is there and I just have not found it.

They started doing this in Tokyo with the latest rollout which included the Live view (about 2 months ago?). I was also aggressively peeved by it.

I believe Citymapper has the edge on multi-modal routing, at least if they support your city.

Citymapper at least tries, but is still bad for bike+public transport.

I look at the options that Citymapper gives and then have to recalculate the route, in my head, correcting for wrong decisions about where I'll have access to a bike.

(Yes, it'll be quicker if I cycle my own bike from my home to the nearest station. No, I won't be cycling a hire bike 111 minutes away from its closest docking port.)
