Google Maps Route Logic

google maps explaining why catching a tram, transferring to a bus, getting off and walking 2 minutes and getting on a train, getting off after 2 stops and transferring to another bus is better than one train because it's 30 seconds faster

A bearded man energetically explains a complicated public-transit route at a whiteboard. The joke is that Google Maps recommends an absurd chain of transfers and walking just to save 30 seconds over taking one train, mocking overly optimized navigation directions. It is used as a reaction to unnecessarily complicated reasoning or overengineering. EN: A bearded man energetically explains a complicated public-transit route at a whiteboard.
