Description

Currently the experience of restricting to purely walking, biking or driving is like a brainteaser: you have to figure out that you need to untick all the public transportation options.

The problem is most apparent when wanting to select purely walking. The "Amount of walking" slider adds to the confusion as the maximum is "Prefer walking" instead of "Walking only".

Also, there seems to be something fundamentally unintuitive in the unticking of the public transportation options. I can't immediately think of a way to solve it without introducing explanatory clutter.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the walking, biking, and driving selection flow and reviewing the existing public-transport controls and walking slider. Done means users can explicitly choose a single travel mode without relying on unintuitive option unchecking.
