Adding just the road distance constraint -- i.e. driving time, cycling
time and walking time -- would be a significant step up from having only a
crow-flies distance constraint, for me.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if suitable public transport data were freely
available (maybe buses, though?). If not, that can wait until after the
secret tunnels support is done.
