Cross-source hypothesis
The Last 600 Metres
Which similarly fast route has the more tolerable final walk today?
Compare transit alternatives by the heat, vegetation, slope, and walking geometry of their last segment—not vehicle time alone.
Why this pairing matters
The non-obvious connection
The physically hardest part of a trip may begin after the bus. Coarse environmental context makes that ignored final segment visible.
The demonstration
One visible reveal
Two routes arrive within three minutes, but one ends in a shorter, hotter uphill walk. The recommendation changes when the user prioritizes heat or exertion.
Three-hour boundary
The smallest credible version
One origin-destination pair, two precomputed alternatives, current apparent temperature, and a transparent comparison of the final walking segment.
Claim boundary
What the data cannot establish
Satellite surface temperature is coarse and is not current pedestrian shade. Elevation is not accessibility, and the result is context rather than health advice.
