The tool does not show options involving connections by local transit methods such as buses, bikes, or walking. The tool provider offers on the tool's [Github page](https://github.com/benjamintd/chronotrains) the following explanation: "Because local transit is not included for most cities, there are no journeys available between different stations that can actually be connected by bus, bike, or on foot."
