I know.  For testing purposes it seemed to be reasonable, though
(increments of 1000 ft. For my final map I'll probably do 1/4mi, 1/2mi,
3/4mi, and 1mi increments).

I spot checked a lot of the bus stops, and they appeared to be connected
to the road graph. FWIW.  The TIGER road maps do appear to make
intersections overlap, but don't put a point that all the adjoining
roads connect to. (This brings up something I was going to worry about
later: bridges vs intersections?)

I'll have to give GRASS 7 a shot:) (GRASS 6 is what was in the repo I
was using).

I'm completely new at this so the biggest problem for me is not know
exactly where to look when something isn't working.

Thanks again for your input!
