Travel time context in general could be useful for retrieval before ranking in searches like Yelp or Google maps like products for nearby events and places. My MVP use case is to configure a rerank based on commute "score".

For example there is just no way I'm going to commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan on a Monday night to eat out.

I live across the river from Manhattan and what I never understood was why yelp and Google maps upranks restaurants across the river on the other island even though it is highly improbable I would go there.



I love how much this affects people on dating apps too, lol.
