## How to call it through Zero

```sh

```

Example prompt: Can you analyze the transit coverage for San Francisco and show me where the transit deserts and coverage gaps are so I can assess how car-free-friendly the city is for someone thinking about relocating there?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to understand the spatial distribution of transit service across an entire city, particularly for urban planning analysis, relocation decisions, or identifying underserved communities. Prefer this over route-reliability or trip-planning endpoints when the question is about coverage breadth and equity rather than specific journeys or schedules.
