Ditto!

I like the map: it's really good, indicating changes of bus and the
routes clearly, and allowing you to specify how far to walk to a bus.
Can you add details of the duration of journeys, as well as numbers of
stops?

I don't think it should be necessary to have instructions for a map.

What I think I'd do is keep track of clicks, so that the first click
on the map sets the origin and the next the destination. And then the
next click moves the origin, and the next re-sets the destination. You
could still have the "Swap markers" button. And because routes take
some time to calculate, you would still need a "Find routes" button.

Or use right-clicks on markers to give a context menu so that (for
example) that marker could be removed and then the next click on the
map re-sets it. Or have draggable markers. Anything but a two-stage
process to set locations.

I did find that (in Firefox) hiding the instructions doesn't remove
that area from the screen and enlarge the map, it simply blanks the
text. Using that area to make the map larger would be a useful
enhancement.

Thanks for sharing.
