Systems and Methods for Unified Directions

A system comprising a processing device and a network interface, the processing device configured to:

• receive a list of one or more routes from an origin to a destination for each of two or more different modes of transportation, each route having an associated duration;
• penalize the durations of routes from each list that are subsequent to a first route from the respective list, such that the durations of the penalized routes are increased;
• combine one or more routes from each list to generate a combined list of routes for each of the two or more different modes of transportation;
• and
• sort the combined list of routes to generate a sorted list of routes based, at least in part, on the durations and penalized durations of the routes.

One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processing devices cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations, the operation comprising:

• receiving a list of one or more routes from an origin to a destination for each of two or more different modes of transportation, each route having an associated duration;
• penalizing the durations of routes from each list that are subsequent to a first route from the respective list, wherein penalizing the durations of the routes comprises increasing the durations of the routes;
• combining one or more routes from each list to generate a combined list of routes for each of the two or more different modes of transportation;
• and
• sorting the combined list of routes to generate a sorted list of routes based, at least in part, on the durations and penalized durations of the routes.
