I'd love to have similar things for super-markets (food/goods shops), for those without cars and buying lots of stuff. It might be more efficient to get onto a metro/subway and travel to a distant shop that is very close to the stop than to walk to a - physically - more proximate shop that requires you to walk and carry both ways.

I find it strange that people make such an effort to go to the gym, but also make such an effort to avoid natural built-into-life exercise. Walking and any kind of motion is great, especially for those of us in a job that involves so much sitting! There was a great poster campaign here in New York encouraging people to get off the subway one stop early, or take the stairs, showing the extra calories burned.
