I look forward to reading Dr.s Julian Chen, Scott Kominers
and Robert Sinnott's paper "Walk Versus Wait: The Lazy
Mathematician Wins" in full.

However some assumptions appear to arise from the scant
coverage I've seen so far which are in no wise universal.

The formula they outline seems to work fine in a grid-based
city where one direct route links two locations near bus stops.

In hub-based, also known as spider-web, logistical operations,
however, distance as the crow flies does not automatically
translate into a short number of bus stops.

A nice illustration of why market research, in
so many cases, should be binned upon receipt.

Well I glad that's crystal clear now
