Description
Using the query (same as in #1811):
I get the following expanded route alternative:
It is quite silly since it asks me to walk 750m to a bus stop and then take a bus when walking directly to the destination is only 500m (first route alternative in the list).
As a side issue, the rendering of the bus line on the map is buggy.

Research direction
Reproduce the route using the URL in the issue and compare the walking-only option with the expanded public-transport alternative. Investigate why a route with a longer walk is suggested, then check the related bus-line rendering on the map; done means the alternatives are sensible and the bus line renders correctly.
