A common google searching thing I counter have is something like this:

I need to get from A to B via C via public transport in a big metropolis.

Now C could be one of say 5 different locations of a bank branch, electronics retailer, blood test lab or whatever, so there's multiple ways of going about this.

I would like a chatbot solution that compares all the different options and lays them out ranked by time from A to B. Is this doable today?



I am on holiday now and want something similar. Get me from A to B but with a memorable heuristic that I can use if I leave at any time. E.g. "if you catch a 134 or 175 bus to Kings station then get the metro 3 stops to Cental station.". Even better if you add some landmarks.

This may exclude some clever routes that shave off 3 minutes if you do the correct parkour... but it means I can now put my phone down and enjoy the journey without tracking it like a hawk.
