One example I can imagine you can help with: if your city doesn't have it, you could put its train timetables in an app. There's one for Sydney, it's called TripView. A train timetable available in a convenient manner will help people rely on trains more and reduce CO2 emissions.

If you develop an API for it and everyone can use the data all over the place freely and easily, that could help.
Google maps does a reasonable job of finding a public transport route. Should work anywhere right?
This sounds pretty nice, sadly the city were I live has no trains, cars only.

Thank you for the suggestion.
