Public transport isn't currently an option in the openrouteservice API (I guess they'd have to pull in a lot of scheduling data from different providers as well as the route data from OpenStreetMap so it's much more complicated)
But I would have loved to also compare buses/trams

To know how NO2 concentration might affect the population, we chose to calculate isochrones (5-minute walk) from the measurements, using #openrouteservice in a R environment. We then used #QGIS to create the final maps.
Does anyone have another approach?
