Planning multi-modal trips (Bike, Bus and Train) is complex stuff.
Last Thursday I had an event to attend at the Writers Guild near the Farmers Market in LA. I work in Studio City during the week.
So I just started the route planning at the nearby Subway station and that worked: short bike ride, one train ride and a bus to get there. $3.50
But when I got there I discovered that I could have ridden in the other direction to Laurel Canyon and just taken a direct bus there. $1.75 and probably less time.
I wonder if there are enough multi-modal commuters to justify building an app based on the Google routing stuff?
