I think this was the push I needed to apply for Github Sponsors. Keep an eye on the project though, I'd really love feedback from people passionate about transit! Feel free to email me too if you have ideas of what the UX should be. ellen.h.poe@gmail.com
In the chance you're open for cryptocurrency donations/support, throw in a BTC, XMR, and/or ETH address and you should see some coming
(Some of us can't or won't use GH sponsors, paypal etc)
FWIW I'm super hyped about transit/walking/biking/driving directions as well.
