Description
Summary:
The "Travel by: Transit only" option is confusing, as it actually means "All Modes." Additionally, the "Maximum walk distance" input is fixed to feet, but the app supports both Metric (meters/km) and Imperial (feet/miles) units.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open the OneBusAway app.
- Navigate to the Trip Planner (Beta) screen.
- Open the kebab menu and select "Additional Trip Preferences."
- Observe the "Travel by:", where the first option is "Transit only" but it includes all transit modes.
- Observe the "Maximum walk distance:", which always expects input in feet, even if the user prefers metric units.
Expected Behavior:
- The "Transit only" option should be renamed to "All Modes" to reflect its functionality accurately.
- The "Maximum walk distance" input should adjust based on the user’s preferred unit system (Metric or Imperial).
Observed Behavior:
- The label "Transit only" causes confusion because it actually allows all transit modes.
- The walking distance input is always in feet, with no option to change it based on the app’s unit settings.
Suggested Fix:
- Rename "Transit only" to "All Modes" to clearly indicate that it includes buses and rails.
- Modify the "Maximum walk distance" field to respect the user’s preferred unit system:
- If Metric, display
m
. - If Imperial, display
ft
.
- If Metric, display
Impact:
- Reduces confusion about the "Transit only" option by making it clear that all transit modes are included.
- Improves user experience by aligning distance inputs with the app’s unit settings.
