Hi

great great tool I like it!

Do you know if will possible to add option for example for funicular which fly over roads (or subway just under) so they don't care of the streets (and draw a straight line) ;) Same for tram who doesn't care of the forbidden roads!

Maybe the use of route_type maybe an idea:

Other idea:

Will this route option may be relevant for transit?

options.continue_straight Boolean? Forces the route to keep going straight at waypoints and don't do a uturn even if it would be faster. Default value depends on the profile.

Bus used to go straight? What do you think?
