Must the geohash be reached _solely_ by transit, or can the person walk, unicycle, skateboard or hitchhike to reach points beyond the reach of transit? In other words, is this achievement available only when a geohash falls exactly on a transit line or at a transit stop?
I think it should apply to using public transit as the primary means of travel to the hashpoint, even if the geohasher has to walk a few kilometres beyond the stop in order to reach it. Robyn 04:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
