you're out drinking - which mode is last. you're on the east side of X, which route is closest. you're tired, does any route guauntee a seat. etc....
Berlin, London, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, Kyoto, Osaka. All this way . there is no "one train"
Hello! Now you have.
In many cities certain parts of the transit network follow a star / hub-and-spoke layout. The station nearest to my house is on a spoke, and has trains going south and those going north. So for me, an in-home train display only really needs to show the next train in each direction.
And a lot of transit decisions are conditional on things the planning app doesn't know. Am I comfortable riding a hire bike, appropriately dressed, and carrying a helmet? Do I already have a return ticket for the light rail making it the obvious choice? Am I the kind of person who enjoys a brisk 20 minute walk?
Combine that with the fact that the multimodal transit apps don't understand fares, and I find it's simpler to just start the taxi app if you need a taxi.
Kakao Maps will give you exact timing and fares for every mode except air

Yeah those who live on a spoke and mostly go back and forth that spoke are a minority because the farthter away from the center the more space between the spokes:)
- bus/train/tram crosses my stop 5 times a day - its trivial to learn the 5 times
- bus/train/tram crosses my stop more than 5 times a day - i just show up at the stop and wait
Perhaps my point of view is like this because I'm in Europe, I can't tell really.
