I am testing the trip planner at http://tripplanning.translink.bc.ca/hiwire
I would like to know some of the specific notorious aspects of trip planners, since people are suggesting that I ammicromanaging my accessibility approach.

You can access the trip planner by
1. visiting http://tripplanning.translink.bc.ca/hiwire
2.  Under the "From" fields, choose an arbitrary location from "Select from Popular Locations". Then pick an arbitrary location from "Here are the locations available in the category. Please select one."
3. Under the "To" fields, choose an arbitrary location from "Select from Popular Locations."
Then pick an arbitrary location from "Here are the locations available in the category. Please select one."
4. Press "Next Step"
