Looks lovely. But their comparison with apple and google (https://medium.com/transit-app/transit-maps-apple-vs-google-...) is missing something: "works on a desktop computer". I have a surface 3 pro with chrome/firefox/edge installed, I'd love if there were some html5 web view onto this for planning trips in advance, where I quite like the larger screen size and the ability to screenshot/print just in case.

Yes, I scrolled until the end only to find out its only available in app form. I wanted to play around with it, but this made me give up. I'm not going to install an app (worse: I'll have to free some space on my phone to do it) just to play around with it for one minute and uninstall it (to get back that storage space).

FWIW, Transit on my iPhone, after using it in several large, dense cities (including San Francisco and the Bay Area), only uses up 42.5 MB.

So I doubt it would use very much on your device, especially if you only want to try it out once in your area to see how it works.

I would have installed it, but it's not even available on my platform :/

It's easy enough to run apps on a desktop using emulator's like http://andyroid.net/

I doubt their business goals involve a desktop version
